Re: Fwd: [squid-users] Squid, SNMP and MRTG

Hi Indunil,

You don't use the cfgmaker with Squid as you normally do with Linux
network interfaces.

You need the SNMP OIDs for graphing Squid MRTG.

Put something like the below in your mrtg.cfg file:

Target[1cacheServerRequests]:
cacheServerRequests&cacheServerRequests:public@localhost:3001
MaxBytes[1cacheServerRequests]: 10000000
Title[1cacheServerRequests]: Server Requests @ cacheproxy88
Options[1cacheServerRequests]: nopercent
PageTop[1cacheServerRequests]: <h1>Server Requests @ cacheproxy88</h1>
YLegend[1cacheServerRequests]: requests/sec
ShortLegend[1cacheServerRequests]: req/s
LegendI[1cacheServerRequests]: Requests&nbsp;
LegendO[1cacheServerRequests]:
Legend1[1cacheServerRequests]: Requests
Legend2[1cacheServerRequests]:

Target[2cacheHttpInOutKb]:
cacheHttpInKb&cacheHttpOutKb:public@localhost:3001 * 1024 * 8
MaxBytes[2cacheHttpInOutKb]: 1000000000
Title[2cacheHttpInOutKb]: HTTP In/Out Traffic @ cacheproxy88
Options[2cacheHttpInOutKb]: nopercent
PageTop[2cacheHttpInOutKb]: <h1>HTTP In/Out Traffic @ cacheproxy88</h1>
YLegend[2cacheHttpInOutKb]: Bits/second
ShortLegend[2cacheHttpInOutKb]: Bits/s
LegendI[2cacheHttpInOutKb]: HTTP In&nbsp;
LegendO[2cacheHttpInOutKb]: HTTP Out&nbsp;
Legend1[2cacheHttpInOutKb]: HTTP In
Legend2[2cacheHttpInOutKb]: HTTP Out

The most important thing to note is in the Target parameter.

Check out the following site for more help and information about SNMP
and Squid:

Thanking you...
