What is cacheMemUsage?

Reports the total memory Squid currently has accounted for, in KB, across all of its internal pools. It's a broader figure than cacheSysVMsize alone and is what an admin checks first when suspecting the Squid process is using more RAM than expected.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.3495.1.3.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SQUID-MIB::cacheMemUsage

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.3495.1.3.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SQUID-MIB::cacheMemUsage.1
