Re: [squid-users] Squid and bandwidth saving!!!

If you want to monitor squid via MRTG... you will have to enable snmp on
squid and then make cfg for squid as you have for your router...it will
work... MRTG can display logs in graph but did not monitor itself for this
you will have to run SNMP on squid...and give statistics to squid..
