Hello Squid list !
I having a problem with Squid CPU usage. The environment is described below:
VMWare ESXi guest system - CentOS 5.3 x86_64 running two Squid's. This system
have 3 Gb RAM,
two CPU's each other 3.40 GHz.
First Squid is running with RAM-cache size 1 Gb. Second Squid is running
without any cache and use first as parent cache. Both are SQUID3.0-STABLE16.
Here is some parts of config below:
#first Squid: /etc/squid/squid.conf
http_port 8080
acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \?
cache deny QUERY
cache_mem 1024 MB
maximum_object_size 1024 KB
maximum_object_size_in_memory 1024 KB
cache_replacement_policy heap GDSF
memory_replacement_policy heap GDSF
cache_dir null /null
...skipped access logs...
#we use third-side mysql authorization program
auth_param basic program /usr/lib64/squid/mysql_auth
auth_param basic children 20
auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server
auth_param basic credentialsttl 20 second
auth_param basic casesensitive off
...skipped refresh patterns...
...skipped 34 ACL directives - non-regex based mainly
http_reply_access allow all
...skipped log access...
cache_effective_user nobody
visible_hostname proxy.bsu.edu.ru
...and something else
#second Squid: /etc/squid-noauth/squid.conf
http_port 8082
#use first parent
cache_peer localhost parent 8080 0 no-query
hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ?
#caching is disabled to everything
no_cache deny all
cache_mem 8 MB
cache_dir null /dev/null
...skipping cache logs...
#in this Squid we have something more ACls - time-based mainly and a little
bit of regex-based
acl class0 src 172.18.31.1-172.18.31.199/32
acl class0_time time SMTWHFA 00:00-23:59
http_access allow class0 class0_time
#we have about 35 class sections described above
visible_hostname proxy1.bsu.edu.ru
memory_pools off
forwarded_for on
...about 7 delay pool classes
It's not full configs, but I may present it if would be necessary.
The problem is not so simple: the second squid is periodically utilize CPU and
this is not depends on proxy users' activity. Usually this squid load about
5-12 % CPU, but sometimes loading is hardly increasing - about 70-90 % CPU
(top reports it), while squidclient is reporting only 30-40% load. Squid is
continue working wery well under load, but why it's so highly loading ? In
any case, I repeat, this is not depends on users activity.
Here is squidclient report on this proxy:
