Re: [squid-users] Monitoring multiple squid instances with snmp

Thanks Amos!
But now I'm facing another problem while trying to monitor the
percentage use of the CPU with the 1.3.6.1.4.1.3495.1.3.1.5.0 OID.
While polling (v1 or v2), it keeps returning only the value "1" (each
instance).
As I saw on the wiki http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/Snmp, this OID
is for squid version 2.2+, and I'm currently experimenting with version
3.2.0.4.
Is this related to the version, or am I doing something wrong?

snmpwalk -c community -v 1 localhost:3401 1.3.6.1.4.1.3495.1.3.1.5.0
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.3495.1.3.1.5.0 = INTEGER: 1
