RE: [squid-users] squid caching report

If you have snmp enabled, I would highly recommend setting up an instance of cacti (http://www.cacti.net/)

If you have trouble understanding the Cacti installation, I would recommend getting started with CactiEZ...it's an ISO that gets you up and going fast.
CactiEZ Download: http://mirror.cactiusers.org/downloads/CactiEZ-v0.4.tar.gz
CactiEZ Documentation: http://cactiusers.org/wiki/CactiEZ

Cacti templates for Squid: http://forums.cacti.net/about4142.html

I have Cacti doing all my reporting on Squid, and it's beautiful (and the execs love it, which doesn’t hurt...I can send you graph examples if you like)

Subject: [squid-users] squid caching report

Hello list,

I want to have reports about the squid performance like how much caching is being done by Squid, how much bandwidth is being saved by the squid cache by returning objects from cache. I thought of cache manager output but my seniors want to see reports in a less complex format something like graph based reports. I have configured the MRTG graph also for the squid but most of the stuff I am not able to understand.
Is anything available on the Internet so that I can create some graphs/reports about the Squid performance? Any pointer will be highly useful for me.
