So that is the amount before much traffic has happened. When traffic goes through the proxy Squid gains data which uses more memory for at least all the purposes listed at <https://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidMemory>. > > if i keep run the cron hourly by time say daily 12 times ( every 2 hours) > > and after 1 week i go to server to see free ram using : > > free -m command > > i see the free ram be like 5 G free , while I’m supposed to see the free > as 16 G +10GB for 100 instances means each is on average only using ~100 MB more than you expected. This is also the net difference between when you started the Squid and the peak traffic load within that whole week. If you are not already graphing the memory usage I suggest you start doing so and look at the graphs for patterns. They may show a different story to what you (or I) are thinking is happening. Also, Squid provides SNMP data for automated measurements if you want to check the details rather than just the overall OS free measurement. For example; comparing OID cacheMemUsage to cacheNumObjCount, cacheClients and cacheCurrentFileDescrCnt shows roughly the relative memory usage to each of the major dynamic memory consumers.
