Summary
We have learned about using the cache manager to monitor our Squid proxy server for various statistics.
Specifically, we have covered the following:
- Installing and configuring Apache to use the
cachemgr.cgiprogram to provide a web interface for the cache manager. - Various types of information and statistics about our running proxy server
- An overview of log file analyzers
- Installing and using Calamaris to generate interesting statistics about the usage and performance of our proxy server.
