Squid needs a cache hit rate graph somewhere. Anywhere

jawz101

The first thing I wonder is if the caching function is doing anything and, if so, how much of a difference it's making. Can there be some graph graphing the hit rate?

I just got a new SG-3100 and decided to try out Squid again. After suffering with the slowness I just wanted to see if it was worth even messing with. I really don't care about the clamav or content filtering as much as the primary caching purpose but there's no gui-facing way to monitor hit rate. I tried the squidclient command from shell and it hung there and eventually didn't display what it was supposed to display. It just seems like, by now, someone would've put a hit rate thingy somewhere.

No, but you can shell in and run:

squidclient -h LAN_IP -p 3128 mgr:info

and check the Cache information for squid section. It will show you hit rate for the past 5 minutes and past hour. It's usually pretty low. I don't even bother trying to cache anymore. I just use squid as the base for squidguard.

Is this what you want ?

Hi We are using Graylog + elasticseach.
we collect data from dozens of squid proxy servers + firewalls + wap + switches + windows servers + Linux servers.
