You want to parse Squid logs? Which ones? If it is the cache log then [this](https://www.elastic.co/blog/a-practical-introduction-to-logstash) blog might be helpful. If it is the access log then it is really going to depend on what format Squid is configured to use. Can you show us a couple of lines of the log file and say what each field is?

BTW, if you decide you want to parse PFSense logs as well then [this](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/configure-logstash-to-show-logs-from-port-5002/250205/18) might help you.
