What is cacheUniqName?

Reports the unique hostname Squid identifies itself by, distinct from the system's regular DNS hostname if Squid is configured with a specific unique_hostname. An admin uses it to tell apart multiple Squid instances running on the same host or behind a shared virtual name.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.3495.1.2.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SQUID-MIB::cacheUniqName

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.3495.1.2.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SQUID-MIB::cacheUniqName.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> cacheUniqName.1
