In general, you should monitor SMP Squid performance just like you monitor non-SMP Squid performance. There are still some Squid-reported stats that are not aggregated across workers, but most critical ones are. The details are being documented at http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/CacheManager#SMP_considerations As for CPU core utilization monitoring specifically, for short-term checks, consider using "top" (press '1' to see all cores) and for long-term trends, perhaps an mpstat log would help? After Squid has been running for some time, you could also look at the total CPU time of each Squid worker reported by "top", "ps", and other tools. This will give you an idea of how well your OS balances workers. > does using smp can make delay when starting squid ? i mean that rebuildig > process take more time when using smp ??!! If the machine has enough resources, SMP rebuild should be faster than an exactly the same rebuild done by a non-SMP Squid, but YMMV. HTH, Alex.
