squid

THIS MODULE IS OBSOLETE. USE THE PYTHON ONE - IT SUPPORTS MULTIPLE JOBS AND IT IS MORE EFFICIENT

The plugin will monitor a squid server.

It will produce 4 charts:

1. Squid Client Bandwidth in kbps

• in
• out
• hits

2. Squid Client Requests in requests/sec

• requests
• hits
• errors

3. Squid Server Bandwidth in kbps

• in
• out

4. Squid Server Requests in requests/sec

• requests
• errors

autoconfig

The plugin will by itself detect squid servers running on localhost, on ports 3128 or 8080.

It will attempt to download URLs in the form:

• cache_object://HOST:PORT/counters
• /squid-internal-mgr/counters

If any succeeds, it will use this.

configuration

If you need to configure it by hand, create the file /etc/netdata/squid.conf with the following variables:

• squid_host=IP the IP of the squid host
• squid_port=PORT the port the squid is listening
• squid_url="URL" the URL with the statistics to be fetched from squid
• squid_timeout=SECONDS how much time we should wait for squid to respond
• squid_update_every=SECONDS the frequency of the data collection

Example /etc/netdata/squid.conf:

squid_host=127.0.0.1
squid_port=3128
squid_url="cache_object://127.0.0.1:3128/counters"
squid_timeout=2
squid_update_every=5
