Do you mean "is it running?"

Or do you mean "how busy is it?"

Or do you mean "is it working and supplying the content it's expected / 
supposed to ?"

Or... maybe something else?

So, what it is you want to monitor?


Next question: do you already have some monitoring system such as Icinga, 
Zabbix, Nagios, etc., which you use for other systems and services, or is 
Squid the first thing you're thinking of keeping a watchful eye on?


Given that information, we might have some ideas, or else pointers to where 
else it's worth asking the question.


Regards,


Antony.
