I have gathered some info regarding my squid performace using mrtg. Will
someone give their professional comments and suggestions based on the
results i have to further increase the performance?
Easier to discuss based on what you have done on your Squid server than
what MRTG shows.
Information needed are:
- Type of cache-dir
- How many hard-drives
- How buzy are your hard-drive(s)? (sar/iostat is helpful here)
- CPU usage
- Filedescriptor usage (see cachemgr)
- Network usage of your Internet connection
- Observerd hit-ratio
- Observed requests/second at peak hours
- Subjective feeling of what browsing via the Squid server feels like at
peak hours, preferably compared to the same going direct (or via NAT) at
the same time of day.
