i tried that yesterday using the config lines for squid from MRTG, but to no avail.. it does create the html files in the working dir, but does not show any stats.. it complains that it was supposed to get a number, as in a statistic, but instead got "", which means nothing...

what it looks like is that squid is not responding to the SNMP agent when queried.. or that the query never does get to squid.. .. what'd u reckon..?..
