In _addition_ to what Amos has said: AFAICT, that counter counts
completed or finished more-or-less well-formed HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP
transactions that are not excluded by the stats_collection directive. If
you use SslBump, keep in mind that some SslBump steps are treated as
transactions.

Very roughly speaking, in most configurations, that counter is
incremented once whenever Squid adds a line to access.log.


HTH,

Alex.
P.S. The OID documentation at https://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/Snmp
lies about "received". It is more like "serviced", "completed", etc.
