Hi @irshadalam,

I'm not familiar with Squid, but I think there are two ways to ingest Squid:

1. Using [Filebeat with the Squid module](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-module-squid.html)
2. Using the [Squid integration](https://docs.elastic.co/en/integrations/squid) for Elastic Agent

You mention using an ingest pipeline. Are you looking to transform these logs somehow? With the above approaches you can use processors for either [Filebeat](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filtering-and-enhancing-data.html) or [Elastic Agent](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/current/elastic-agent-processor-configuration.html#:~:text=Elastic%20Agent%20processors%20are%20lightweight,enrich%20data%20at%20the%20source.) in addition to an ingest pipeline. So there are a few options.
