RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Type: Release Note
Doc Text:
*Squid* can log IP addresses and ports of remote hosts In previous versions, the *Squid* caching and forwarding web proxy had the ability to log the URL, which included the host name. However, *Squid* could not log the IP address of the destination server. This update enables *Squid* to log IP addresses and ports of remote hosts, which is especially useful when dealing with hosts that have multiple IP addresses.

Description Jesse Triplett 2012-08-14 17:15:05 UTC 
1. Proposed title of this feature request
IP address of the remote host accessed via squid in version 3.2


2. Who is the customer behind the request?
Account name: Colorcon
Customer segment:Tudor Panaitescu
TAM/SRM customer: no
Strategic Customer: no


3. What is the nature and description of the request?
We are trying to find ways to correlate squid log information and firewall (Cisco ASA) log info inside a SIEM but we came across a problem related to web sites with multiple ip addresses (i.e google, when you do a nslookup on www.google.com you get multiple IP addresses). Squid 3.1 logs the URL, which includes the hostname but doesn't have the capability to log the IP address of the destination while ASA loggs just the IP address. Squid 3.2 has that capability (check squid config logformat documentation for <a and <p) and I was wondering if you guys can backport that feature into the mainline RHEL6.X so we have that correlation point.

4. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)
implement SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) + event correlation w/ info from squid; <IP Address>:<port> of the destination host would be correlated w/ firewall logging info and also w/ IDS info

5. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)
by using <A and log_ip_on_direct, but I still believe that it would be helpful to have the port as well, <p option in squid 3.2.

6. For each functional requirement listed in question 5, specify how Red Hat
and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully
implemented.


7. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat bugzilla?
No

8. Does the customer have any specific timeline dependencies?
No

9. Is the sales team involved in this request and do they have any additional input?
No

10. List any affected packages or components.
squid-3.1.x.el6

11. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented?
