Squid provides a range of SNMP measures of whats going on.

The cache.log is also useful at numericaly low debug levels ALL,1 for
information messages or ALL,2 to see what Squid is doing over time.

Then there is the cachemgr interface for snapshots of state. Use the
cachemgr.cgi or squidclient tools to access that.
