Squid supports SNMP, so the only thing needed is a correct configuration, the fo

llowing example doesn't cover all needed MRTG configuration options, but only Sq
uid related things.For generic informations about MRTG configuration, please loo
k at www.mrtg.org.
⠀squid.conf:
⠀The following are the minimal changes needed in squid.conf:

acl snmppublic snmp_community public snmp_port 3401 snmp_access allow snmppublic

all (Here you can use any community name and any valid acl name)
⠀mrtg.cfg:
⠀Copy the mib.txt file from Squid in the mibs directory of your MRTG installation
⠀Add to Global Config Options of your mrtg.conf a line like the followig:
LoadMIBS: /usr/local/mrtg-2/mibs/squid.mib
(Here I have renamed mib.txt in squid.mib)
⠀Add targets like the following:
Target[proxy-hit]: cacheHttpHits&cacheServerRequests:public@proxy.sg.private:340
1 # If you are using Squid 2.6 or later, uncomment the following line #RouterNam
e[proxy-hit]: cacheUniqName MaxBytes[proxy-hit]: 100000 Title[proxy-hit]: HTTP H

Here the proxy hostname is proxy.sg.private, with public SNMP community enabled
and SNMP listening on 3401 portPlease note the MaxBytes value (76800 KB/min) for
Cache Server Traffic In/Out: it depends from your Proxy network interface speed
