Logs are rotated using "squid -k rotate". It is explained prominently
in the documentation. Just put that into a crontab entry at some
suitable time (nightly, weekly etc. depending on how large you want to
let the logs get.)

In test enmvironments I run tail -f on the log. There is also a tool
called squidtaild that does realtime user analysis (although we turned
it off as it used too much memory on our production server.) See the
logfile analysis page on the squid site.
