[squid-users] how to obtain info about actual active downloads?

[Rafael Akchurin]

Hello Chris,

The ICAP session is happening inlined with HTTP(S) sessions (i.e. the proxy user will not get any bytes until ICAP server tells Squid to proceed). In this sense looking at sessions from ICAP is almost the same (or even better) as having this info from within Squid's logs (as if I am not mistaken the data get's written to the log *after* each session is completed).

The active sessions per client is already present (with some history back log).. from your description I see that the current and average throughput per client is missing. May I assume  that you'd like to see for each active proxy client the number of bytes retrieved during last 1, 5, 30 minutes/seconds or so? Sorry if I completely misunderstood your notice.

Raf.

Hi Rafael,

sqtop shows active sessions through the proxy per client, along with a
report of current and average throughput per client.  That is really
useful for knowing what's consuming data *right now* compared to any
historical report, since historical reports usually only acocunt for
data when a connection has ended.
