Description: Number of objects stored by the cache

What is cacheNumObjCount?

Reports how many objects are currently stored in Squid's cache (memory and disk combined). An admin tracks this alongside cacheCurrentSwapSize to understand cache density -- lots of objects in little space suggests many small cached items.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.3495.1.3.1.7
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SQUID-MIB::cacheNumObjCount

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.3495.1.3.1.7.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SQUID-MIB::cacheNumObjCount.1
