MRTG-SQUID(1)			      mrtg			   MRTG-SQUID(1)

NAME
     mrtg-squid - using mrtg to monitor Squid

DESCRIPTION
     Squid  2.3  knows	SNMP  and you can therefore use mrtg to monitor it quite
     easily.

     I have made some modifications to mrtg which simplify  this.   My	work  is
     based   on   earlier  modification  made  by:  matija.grabnar@arnes.si  and
     kostas@nlanr.net.

MODIFICATIONS
     I added new code for displaying correct units to the previous patches "per-
     minute" and "perhour" ("option" tokens), which allows other measurement  in
     addition to "persecond".

     Then  I created a new option token "dorelpercent" which allows the calcula-
     tion of the percentage of IN-stream / OUT-stream on the fly and  then  dis-
     plays  it	on a fixed scale from 0% to 100%. For my requirements, this does
     good work. Maybe someone wants a floating scale. It should not be a problem
     to implement it, too (but give me an option to keep my fixed scale). If IN-
     stream is always less than OUT-stream both lines (OUT-stream  and	relative
     percent)  are always displayed on top of IN-stream bulk. Otherwise this op-
     tion makes no sense. With this option you can display hitrates,  errorrates
     (for router monitoring: rel. droprates) easily now.

     If  you  use  this  options  please  consider  that  you need a 5th colour-
     name/value pair in your Colours statements!

     Due to some discussion on this list, I have implemented two tokens too:

     "kilo" and "kMG"

     "kilo" should contain the value of k (1000 or 1024), where 1000 is the  de-
     fault.

     "kMG" is a comma separated list of multiplier prefixes, used instead of "",
     "k",  "M",  "G", "T" on the MRTG display. Leave the place free, if you want
     no prefix.

     Also an incomplete list of OIDs for the new SQUID release is added.

     You may need to turn on snmp_port in squid.conf to as it is disabled by de-
     fault.

     I hope you enjoy it.

CONFIG EXAMPLE
     First load the squid mib

      LoadMIBs: /usr/share/squid/mib.txt

     You can measure responsetimes in ms and  display  it  with  MRTG  correctly
     with:

      kMG[measure-ms]: m,,k,M,G,T
      short[measure-ms]: s

     You can display now MB/s as 1024*1024 B/s with:

      kilo[volume]: 1024

     Assuming you're not running squid's SNMP on the default snmp port, you need
     to include a port number in your target line:

      Target[proxy-hit]: cacheHttpHits&cacheProtoClientHttpRequests:public@localhost:3401

     A sample config for squid:

      Target[proxy-hit]: cacheHttpHits&cacheProtoClientHttpRequests:public@proxy
      Title[proxy-hit]: HTTP Hits
      PageTop[proxy-hit]: <H2>proxy Cache Statistics: HTTP Hits / Requests</H2>
      Suppress[proxy-hit]: y
      LegendI[proxy-hit]:  HTTP hits
      LegendO[proxy-hit]:  HTTP requests
      Legend1[proxy-hit]:  HTTP hits
      Legend2[proxy-hit]:  HTTP requests
      YLegend[proxy-hit]: perminute
      ShortLegend[proxy-hit]: req/min
      Options[proxy-hit]: nopercent, perminute, dorelpercent

      Target[proxy-srvkbinout]: cacheServerInKb&cacheServerOutKb:public@proxy
      Title[proxy-srvkbinout]: Cache Server Traffic In / Out
      PageTop[proxy-srvkbinout]: <H2>Cache Statistics: Server traffic volume (In/Out) </H2>
      Suppress[proxy-srvkbinout]: y
      LegendI[proxy-srvkbinout]:  Traffic In
      LegendO[proxy-srvkbinout]:  Traffic Out
      Legend1[proxy-srvkbinout]:  Traffic In
      Legend2[proxy-srvkbinout]:  Traffic Out
      YLegend[proxy-srvkbinout]: per minute
      ShortLegend[proxy-srvkbinout]: b/min
      kMG[proxy-srvkbinout]: k,M,G,T
      kilo[proxy-srvkbinout]: 1024
      Options[proxy-srvkbinout]: nopercent, perminute
