Squid collector
Monitors one or more squid instances depending on configuration.
It produces following charts:
Client Bandwidth in kilobits/s
- in
- out
- hits
Client Requests in requests/s
- requests
- hits
- errors
Server Bandwidth in kilobits/s
- in
- out
Server Requests in requests/s
- requests
- errors
Configuration
Edit the python.d/squid.conf
configuration file using edit-config
from the Netdata config
directory, which is typically at /etc/netdata
.
cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
sudo ./edit-config python.d/squid.conf
priority : 50000
local:
request : 'cache_object://localhost:3128/counters'
host : 'localhost'
port : 3128
Without any configuration module will try to autodetect where squid presents its counters
data
Troubleshooting
To troubleshoot issues with the squid
module, run the python.d.plugin
with the debug option enabled. The
output will give you the output of the data collection job or error messages on why the collector isn't working.
First, navigate to your plugins directory, usually they are located under /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
. If that's
not the case on your system, open netdata.conf
and look for the setting plugins directory
. Once you're in the
plugin's directory, switch to the netdata
user.
cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
sudo su -s /bin/bash netdata
Now you can manually run the squid
module in debug mode:
./python.d.plugin squid debug trace
