6.0 - Sat Aug 30 21:48:14 CEST 2014
This major release adds several new features, lot of speed improvement and
some major bug fixes.
* Multiple access.log files can be processed at the same time.
* Multiprocess mode can be activated using the -j N command line option.
* New ExcludedMimes configuration directive to exclude from statistics
a comma separated list of mime-type or using regex like text/.*.
* New ExcludedMethods configuration directive to exclude from statistics
a comma separated list of HTTP methods (GET,POST,CONNECT,...).
* New translation available: pl_PL
Using 4 CPU cores (-j 4) to run SquidAnalyzer can divide by 4 the time used
in single process mode. In single process mode building a 1.4GB access.log
file takes 50 minutes on my computer, using 4 cpus take around 15 minutes.
squid-analyzer --no-year-stat -j 4 /var/log/squid3/access.log*
