I've found this pages very useful for mrtg/snmp/squid:
http://www.psychofx.com/chris/unix/mrtg/ http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-18.html
(More links at the end of FAQ-18)
I recommend using rrdtool and 14all.cgi with mrtg. Less hassle with data consistency, but you can setup mrtg without rrdtool/14all.cgi as well to keep things simpler in the beginning.

Hi all.
I just installed squid (last week), and have been playing around with it for a bit ....
I would like to try and reduce the conf file by oh say ... 2000 lines :) .. but I really don't understated what allot of the configurations are for .. even after reading endless amounts of docs .... Does any one have a good "default" squid config .. that only allows for normal http and ftp stuff.
My second question has to do with stats ... I have been trying mrtg .. I have it installed .. but I can not figure out how to make it show a graph ... If someone knows how to do this I would Really appreciate it .... I fond a page with a load of config files on it ... but I am not sure how to get them to work. The page I found was this: http://howto.aphroland.de/HOWTO/MRTG/SquidMonitoringWithMRTG
Anyway, if someone who does not mind helping out a newbie would not mind giving me a hand, I would REALLY appreciate it .... I am more stuck on the last question .....
Thank you. Peter Marshall
