There is a list of software known to be able to process Squid log files
at <http://www.squid-cache.org/Misc/log-analysis.html>. Most of these
are for post-processing of the log data though.

Personally I use the DB logging daemon shipped with Squid to store data
into a database and custom report generators based on squidview to
display the data customers need/want to see.

No software can give you a "live" or "real time" view of Squid
connections based on access.log info because access.log only contains
records of past/completed transactions, not current/live ones.

I do not think there is any Squid interface that was designed (and is
appropriate) for true live traffic monitoring, but you may get some
"current usage" information from the Cache Manager interface:
https://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/CacheManager

If you are content with only looking at past/finished/completed
transactions, then there are probably some tools that can be fed
access.log entries as Squid produces them and that can display nearly
"live" statistics based on those entries, but I personally cannot
recommend any.
