Hi,
We stumbled on ufdbGuard, but licence/price was problem, we didn't
read documentation carefully.
yes, ufdbguard is free.
We will definitely try ufdbGuard, but we are now in process of moving
squid/squidguard to production, so we can't test on production (angry
users, Internet must work :)).
Memory compsumption:squid use largest part of memory (12GB now,
second proces use 300MB memory), 14GB used by all process. So squid
use over 80% of total used memory.
So no there are not any problematic process. But we changed swappiness
settings.
Did you monitor Squid for growth (it can start with 12 GB and grow slowly) ?
Squid cannot fork and higher swappiness increases the amount of memory that the OS can use to copy processes.
It makes me think that you have the memory overcommit set to 2 (no overcommit).
What is the output of the following command ?
sysctl -a | grep overcommit
Advice for some settings:
We have absolute max peak of 2500 users which user squid (of 2800),
what are recomended settings for:
negotiate_kerberos_children start/idle
squidguard helpers.
I have little experience with kerberos, but most likely this is not the issue.
When Squid cannot fork the helpers, helper settings do not matter much.
For 2500 users you probably need 32-64 squidguard helpers.

Thanks for help,

There is definitely a problem with available memory because Squid cannot
fork.
So start with looking at how much memory Squid and its helpers use.
Do do have other processes on this system that consume a lot of memory ?
Also note that ufdbGuard uses less memory that squidGuard.
If there are 30 helpers squidguard uses 300% more memory than ufdbGuard.
Look at the wiki for more information about memory usage:

expired certificate but it is safe to go ahead)

Hi, I hope that someone can explain what happened, why squid stopped
working.
The problem is related to memory/swap handling.
After we changed vm.swappiness parameter from 60 to 10 (tuning
attempt, to lower a disk usage, because we have only 4 disks in a
RAID10, so disk subsystem is a weak link), we got a lot of errors in
cache.log.
The problems started after scheduled logrotate after 2AM.
Squid ran out of memory, auth helpers stopped working.
It's weird because we didn't disable swap, but behavior is like we did.
After an error, we increased parameter from 10 to 40.
The server has 24GB DDR3 memory, disk swap set to 24GB, 12 CPU (24HT
cores).
We have 2800 users, using kerberos authentication, squidguard for
filtering, ldap authorization.
When problem appeared memory was still 3GB free (free column), ram
(caching) was filled to 15GB, so 21 GB ram filled, 3GB free.
Thanks for help,
errors from cache.log.
