If your squid.conf has the default access for cachemgr, then from the
command line of your squid server you can run "squidclient
cache_object://localhost/utilization" which will give you statistics
averaged over the last 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 1 hour, 8 hours, 1 day, 3 days
and overall. If this is not good enough, a utility like iptraf
(http://iptraf.seul.org/) is capable of what you are asking for.
