Squid native access.log contains transfer duration and size metrics.
Some other options not in the default format provide additional metrics
if you need them.
  See http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/logformat/ for a lit of log
metrics.

Otherwise the SNMP counters can be used, but they do not go down as fine
grained as indvidual requests.
