    Squid Proxy Caching

    Hi Guys,

    I've setup Squid Proxy cache enbaled. How would I know if my my clients are getting data from cache directory first then into the net ?

    I would like to know that my squid caching is working.

    Thanks

    In /var/log/squid/access.log, look for TCP_HIT. That means there was a match in the cache. TCP_MISS, of course, means there was no cached content and the proxy had to fetch it.

    You can also set up a squid log analyzer if you don't want to browse raw logs:
