Re: [squid-users] Squid and SNMP

SNMP runs on port 161, so to avoid interfering with your system's SNMP
daemon, squid's SNMP server runs on port 3401. You'll need to make sure
you specify that port when you want to query squid and not your system.
If you are running *nix you can actually use the proxy feature of SNMP
and forward requests from your system daemon to your SNMP daemon.
Here's what i have in my SNMPd config:
proxy -v 1 -c communityname localhost:3401 1.3.6.1.4.1.3495.1

With this in my SNMPd config, i can query my system daemon for both
system and squid values.
Hope this helps.

Thanks,
 Bryan
