SNMP Management of Proxy/Caches

This page contains information related to SNMP management of Proxy/Cache servers. We are currently experimenting with an MIB specifically for Proxy/Cache servers, rather than re-using information from more generic MIB's such as the Host Resources MIB and the WWW Services MIB, for reasons of implementation simplicity and flexibility.

At the moment a single MIB has been developed which contains Squid specifc objects, currently the MIB is being broken into two components. The first will be a generic Proxy/Cache server MIB which will be applicable to all object caches. With a second MIB which will be private extensions to the Proxy/Cache MIB for Squid specific objects.

Our goals are:

Providing configuration, performance, accounting, fault and security management functionality.
Managing cooperating proxies/caches, which is actually the main rationale behind this work.
Agree to a common proxy/cache MIB.
Development of applications that will take advantage of the functions.

You are welcome to participate in our discussion list.
