hello all, i'm trying to replace FreeBSD+Squid with Mandrake9.1+Squid.
FreeBSD+Squid works very well, but i'm working on getting our network to be more homogeneous so it'll be easier to administer. I'm finding that, with the default setup (very minor configuration of squid, just set directories, memory and disk sizes, parent), squid works pretty well, but maybe once every two days or so it slows down for fifteen minutes or more. it's not a bandwidth or upstream proxy problem since, when we notice the slowness, if we turn off transparent proxy or switch it to use an upstream proxy only, we don't get the slowing down. i realize that this is probably not enough data to give me suggestions (and squid.conf is very large and i won't post it na lang), so i'm actually posting to ask what things do i need to do to get more squid diagnostics. what kinds of things do i need to be looking at? top, of course, and maybe vmstat. but what else? is there something i can turn on in squid that will give me memory management debugging or diagnostics or something? i *really* don't want to do an strace on squid :). i fear that i'll go insane if i seriously monitor the output of that :). tiger -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo gquimpo*hotmail.com tiger*sni*ph http://bopolissimus.sni.ph Public Key: "gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 672F4C78" Veritas liberabit vos. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
