What is cacheCurrentFileDescrMax?

Reports the highest number of file descriptors Squid is configured/able to use. An admin raising this (along with the OS-level ulimit) is the usual fix for a busy proxy that's hitting 'too many open files' errors.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.3495.1.3.1.13
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SQUID-MIB::cacheCurrentFileDescrMax

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.3495.1.3.1.13.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SQUID-MIB::cacheCurrentFileDescrMax.1
