cacheSysPageFaults

Module: SQUID-MIB

OID (symbolic): SQUID-MIB::cacheSysPageFaults

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.3495.1.3.1.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: Page faults with physical i/o

What is cacheSysPageFaults?

Counts page faults that required physical I/O (not just soft faults resolved from memory) on the system running Squid. A rising count under load points to memory pressure on the proxy host, which an admin would address by adding RAM or lowering cacheMemMaxSize.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.3495.1.3.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SQUID-MIB::cacheSysPageFaults

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.3495.1.3.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SQUID-MIB::cacheSysPageFaults.1

Start monitoring Squid proxy/cache server (software appliance), vendor-neutral standards-based MIB for Unix/Linux HTTP cache software (traffic/cache-performance counters) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the SQUID-MIB::cacheSysPageFaults OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Squid proxy/cache server (software appliance), vendor-neutral standards-based MIB for Unix/Linux HTTP cache software (traffic/cache-performance counters) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Squid proxy/cache server (software appliance), vendor-neutral standards-based MIB for Unix/Linux HTTP cache software (traffic/cache-performance counters) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type cacheSysPageFaults into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the page faults with physical i/o. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
