SYNOPSIS
http://your.server/cgi-bin/cachemgr.cgi
DESCRIPTION
The cache manager ( cachemgr.cgi ) is a CGI utility for displaying sta‐
tistics about the Squid HTTP proxy process as it runs. The cache man‐
ager is a convenient way to manage the cache and view statistics with‐
out logging into the server.
CONFIGURATION
Configuration examples for many common web servers can be found in the
Squid FAQ wiki. http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq
./cachemgr.conf
/etc/squid/cachemgr.conf
The access configuration file defining which Squid servers may
be managed via this cachemgr.cgi program. Each line specifies a
server:port followed by an optional description
The server name may contain shell wildcard characters such as *,
[] etc. A quick selection dropdown menu is automatically con‐
structed from the simple server names.
Specifying :port is optional. If not specified then the default
proxy port is assumed. :* or :any matches any port on the target
server.
SECURITYcachemgr.cgi calls the requested server on the requested port using
HTTP and returns a formatted version of the response. To avoid abuse it
is recommended to configure your web server to restrict access to the
cachemgr.cgi program.
