What is cacheCurrentFileDescrCnt?

Reports how many file descriptors Squid currently has open and in use. An admin compares this to cacheCurrentFileDescrMax to see how close the proxy is to its descriptor ceiling under peak load.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.3495.1.3.1.12
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SQUID-MIB::cacheCurrentFileDescrCnt

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.3495.1.3.1.12.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SQUID-MIB::cacheCurrentFileDescrCnt.1
