SQUID performance

exa_gon

Someone can point me, please.

Here my Media Service Times :

Median Service Times (seconds) 5 min 60 min:
HTTP Requests (All): 14.89826 14.89826
Cache Misses: 14.89826 14.89826
Cache Hits: 0.00000 0.00000
Near Hits: 0.00000 0.00000
Not-Modified Replies: 0.00000 0.00000
DNS Lookups: 0.00394 0.00394
ICP Queries: 0.00000 0.00000

The SQUID is very slow.Someone can poit me to resolve the problem ?

Your cache miss times are horrible. Are you using a massive cache on a really slow disk? It's taking a lot of time to confirm that the requested object isn't in the cache.

I get

I loaded the default config for antivirus / squidguard then the performance are normal.

I don't know why.

IMO, antivirus on the firewall is a waste of resources. It slows everything down, and you can get much better AV solutions that run on the client.

Would someone mind posting how/where you are getting these Media Service Times from?

Thanks

Login from console. Run this command:

squidclient -h 10.10.0.1 -p 3128 mgr:info

Replace 10.10.0.1 with the IP address of your pfSense LAN. If you get an access error then you need to add your LAN IP & localhost to squid's External Cache Managers config under Local Cache - Squid Cache General Settings like this:

127.0.0.1;Your.squid.IP.address

Like I said earlier, if you have a large cache structure that is mostly full on a slower hard disk then you will have elevated Cache Miss times. The longer it takes to search the cache before declaring a MISS, the worse your numbers will be.
