Squid SNMP
Overview
For Zabbix version: 6.2 and higher
This template was tested on:
- Squid, version 3.5.12
Setup
See Zabbix template operation for basic instructions.
Setup Squid
Enable SNMP support following official documentation. Required parameters in squid.conf:
snmp_port <port_number>
acl <zbx_acl_name> snmp_community <community_name>
snmp_access allow <zbx_acl_name> <zabbix_server_ip>
Setup Zabbix
1. Import the template template_app_squid_snmp.yaml into Zabbix.
2. Set values for {$SQUID.SNMP.COMMUNITY}, {$SQUID.SNMP.PORT} and {$SQUID.HTTP.PORT} as configured in squid.conf.
3. Link the imported template to a host with Squid.
4. Add SNMPv2 interface to Squid host. Set Port as {$SQUID.SNMP.PORT} and SNMP community as {$SQUID.SNMP.COMMUNITY}.
Zabbix configuration
No specific Zabbix configuration is required.
