Has anyone experienced this squid error with splunk_recommended_squid log format?

i am running Squid 5.2 and having an issue adding the splunk_recommended_squid log format to my squid configuration.  Pulled the log format right out of the splunk documentation.  i'll paste it at the end of this message.  When i try and start squid with that log format, i get an error:

" FATAL: Bungled /etc/squid/squid.conf line 11: logformat splunk_squid %ts.%03tu logformat=splunk_recommended_squid duration=%tr src_ip=%>a src_port=%>p dest_ip=%<a dest_port=%<p user_ident="%[ui" user="%[un" local_time=[%tl] http_method=%rm request_method_from_client=%<rm request_method_to_server=%>rm url="%ru" http_referrer="%{Referer}>h" http_user_agent="%{User-Agent}>h" status=%>Hs vendor_action=%Ss dest_status=%Sh total_time_milliseconds=%<tt http_content_type="%mt" bytes=%st bytes_in=%>st bytes_out=%<st sni="%ssl::>sni"

 

I haven't been able to find anything solid to help out with this.  has anyone else experienced this?

 

Thanks

Yes, it has to do with a bad log format in Squid 😠 and no one updated the docs. I solved via Squid docs and process of elimination. I can't seem to get the ssl::sni to work at all but this is all of the options without ssl::sni. 

logformat splunk_recommended_squid %ts.%03tu logformat=splunk_recommended_squid duration=%tr src_ip=%>a src_port=%>p dest_ip=%<a dest_port=%<p user_ident="%ui" user="%un" local_time=[%tl] http_method=%rm request_method_from_client=%<rm request_method_to_server=%>rm url="%ru" http_referrer="%{Referer}>h" http_user_agent="%{User-Agent}>h" status=%>Hs vendor_action=%Ss dest_status=%Sh total_time_milliseconds=%<tt http_content_type="%mt" bytes=%st bytes_in=%>st bytes_out=%<st
