[squid-users] Squid "suspending ICAP service for too many failures"

[Andrea Venturoli]

Hello.

On a box I manage, Squids occasionally stops for a few minutes, blaming 
a communication error with C-ICAP (running SquidClamAV).

In cache.log I see:
> 2021/01/04 14:24:24 kid1| suspending ICAP service for too many failures
> 2021/01/04 14:24:24 kid1| essential ICAP service is suspended: icap://127.0.0.1:1344/squidclamav [down,susp,fail11]

This happens usually once a day, always at the same time.
AFAIK there's no particular job running on the server at that time; I 
analyzed squid.log to see whether some client accesses something 
specific at that hour of the day, but came up empty.

Obviously I looked into C-ICAP logs, but, again, found no hint of any 
error or trouble.


Any suggestion on what to do to investigate this?

  bye & Thanks
