Squid 3 memory usage
-
Until 2.3 is released, probably none unless there's a huge security hole somewhere. Noone wants to touch PBI.

Thought that'd be the answer. :p
Time to throw RAM at the issue perhaps…
-
Amusingly, using all the defaults, but with the HDD cache set at 1024Mb seems to make things more stable RAM wise, slowly filling up, but strangely the swap seems to be filling even though there's free RAM ???
And its seemingly ignoring the watermark % variables too as its way past the watermark i set yet isnt clearing the swap cache. -
Anyone got any tips for getting the cache manager working on Squid3? As the top result guide on these forums doesn't appear to work for Squid3…
1/ Run this from Diagnostics - Command Prompt - PHP Execute
require_once("/usr/local/pkg/squid.inc"); $cachemgr = "cachemgr.cgi"; symlink(SQUID_BASE . "/bin/{$cachemgr}", "/usr/local/www/{$cachemgr}");2/ Check that Squid is set to listen on loopback in General - Proxy Interfaces - otherwise you'll just get nifty timeouts.
3/ Stick your trusted IP(s) into Local Cache - External Cache ManagersApparently not needed/ignored. The access is allowed with or without this.
4/ Add this to General - Custom ACLS (Before Auth)cachemgr_passwd none allAlternatively some saner ACLs:
cachemgr_passwd none 5min cachemgr_passwd none 60min cachemgr_passwd none asndb cachemgr_passwd none authenticator cachemgr_passwd none cbdata cachemgr_passwd none client_list cachemgr_passwd none comm_incoming cachemgr_passwd none counters cachemgr_passwd none delay cachemgr_passwd none digest_stats cachemgr_passwd none dns cachemgr_passwd none events cachemgr_passwd none filedescriptors cachemgr_passwd none fqdncache cachemgr_passwd none histograms cachemgr_passwd none http_headers cachemgr_passwd none info cachemgr_passwd none io cachemgr_passwd none ipcache cachemgr_passwd none mem cachemgr_passwd none menu cachemgr_passwd none netdb cachemgr_passwd none non_peers cachemgr_passwd none objects cachemgr_passwd none pconn cachemgr_passwd none peer_select cachemgr_passwd none redirector cachemgr_passwd none refresh cachemgr_passwd none server_list cachemgr_passwd none store_digest cachemgr_passwd none storedir cachemgr_passwd none utilization cachemgr_passwd none via_headers cachemgr_passwd none vm_objects cachemgr_passwd disable config cachemgr_passwd disable offline_toggle cachemgr_passwd disable reconfigure cachemgr_passwd disable rotate cachemgr_passwd disable shutdownNow you can browse to http(s)://your.pfsense.ip.or.fqdn/cachemgr.cgi and
use the Administrator's Email set up in General tabjust click the Continue button to login without password.As you can see, this buggy CGI thing is a nice buggy hole into your setup. WTF.

Thanks,
after running the php code, this error generates:
Warning: symlink(): No such file or directory in /usr/local/www/exec.php(250) : eval()'d code on line 3I've done the remainder of the steps and there's just a 404 error.
-
You paste ALL the code I posted there into the field. ALL. Only after that you execute. Let me repeat: The WHOLE thing. Sigh. Really. If unable to follow, please, just leave the thing alone.

All the code WAS pasted.
Why would i pick and mix part of the code??? It makes no sense for me to pick parts of the code and ignore other bits does it. -
NFC. Look, this just works. Period. If unable to symlink a file, then tough cookies.
-
Its not a case of unable, its a case of your suggested step didn't work. Simple as.
I appreciate the help but you shouldn't assume instantly that i've done something wrong when it was so simple a task that was followed verbatim from your steps. -
Sucks to be you. You apparently have more issues than this, such as downloading a bugfixed file having no effect on your box either. Better call ghostbusters.
-
Wow.

Thanks, but i cant really compensate when the GUI doesnt do what it says it will can i. ;)You really need to stop assuming everyones dumber than you. Whilst i'll freely admit that you know more about this subject than a good 90% of this forum, myself included, i really don't see the need to be so angry all the time when all people are asking for is help for something you helped put together. If you dont want to help, don't, but don't berate people for no reason other than frustration when YOU are choosing to help. Its open source, we're meant to help each other.
Whether that's creating the packages like yourself, or effectively bug reporting like the rest of us.Based on the above revelation about the GUI, i'll try your symlink command via SSH and see if that makes a difference. If so, then I'll publish the results here so others can benefit from the findings.
-
Sir. Perhaps you would have better luck doing these actions on a box where Squid3 is properly installed. Outta this debate.
-
That would be lovely, if the package worked 100% on its own.
Which in all fairness, mostly does apart from either the apparently known memory leaks that are reported upstream, or a few bugs here and there in the provided package from Pf's repository.So anyway, regardless of method of input, same error:
Warning: symlink(): No such file or directory in /usr/local/www/exec.php(250) : eval()'d code on line 3 -
Yeah. Sucks to be you. If you have no such file, well…. then your Squid install is incomplete. If of course could STILL symlink the thing from shell, but that'd require producing some effort, instead of trying to paste PHP code in there.
Bye.
-
You mean the PHP code you suggested to use in the first place ???
I really do not know why you are hostile to everyone.I'll try your new code and hopefully that'll work. Thank you for your input.
-
The code is absolutely the same… What's added there is to show you that IT WORKS. There's no new relevant code in there that'd fix the ghosts in your browser/pfSense box/god knows what.
-
Same error, (line 5 instead, but its the same code ;) )
The box is entirely stock apart from:
A few squid cache settings, Clam pointing at a regional update server, and your code for adding the widget, fixing the widget, adding the extra logs, and this.
Nothing else, it's a fresh install, and this has been duplicated on two boxes, both with fresh installs.As always, thank you for your input and suggestions.
-
For the moment don't worry, i'll spin up another test box, test on that to see if there's something odd.
-
Strangely, two new VM's, one the code worked on, the other it didnt.
The only difference between the two is post install they were given different external IPs.
Very odd, ah well. -
Well the watermark % variables appear to do nothing.
Swap is now at 100% on one of the boxes, with RAM at about 70% usage.
Top reporting Squid at 11Gb usage.This is with default settings in Squid too.
