Module: SQUID-MIB

OID (symbolic): SQUID-MIB::cacheBlockingGetHostByAddr

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.3495.1.4.2.7

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: Number of blocking gethostbyaddr requests

What is cacheBlockingGetHostByAddr?

Counts how many times Squid had to perform a blocking (synchronous) gethostbyaddr call instead of its normal asynchronous reverse-DNS path. Like cacheBlockingGetHostByName, a growing count is worth investigating since blocking calls can stall the proxy's request handling.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.3495.1.4.2.7
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SQUID-MIB::cacheBlockingGetHostByAddr

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.3495.1.4.2.7.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SQUID-MIB::cacheBlockingGetHostByAddr.1
