Calamaris Report Generator

Introduction To Calamaris

Calamaris is a simple, but powerful, report generator for Squid and other web cache access logs. This module provides a quick and easy interface to Calamaris.

It's a very simple interface so not much needs explaining. The Recent Traffic option shows a report for the most recent lines in your access log. The number of lines reported on is set in the "Number of lines of the access log to report" Module Config option. The default is 10000, and is pretty reasonable.

The All Current Log option shows the whole log up to a configured maximum. The maximum is also configurable in Module Config. Be careful about setting this too high. If you have millions of entries in your access log--as can happen on a very highly loaded cache--you'll bog down your whole system while Calamaris tries to deal with all of that data. The default is 25000, but it is probably safe to change it to three or four times that without significant drag on your system.
