Hi Ying,

If you automatically want to check the health of your squid server, then you 
will also need to setup some sort of mailer to alert you if your health script 
fails to connect to Squid on port 3128.

Well you can use the Nagios Network management tool to perform basic health 
checks such as ping, telnet on port 3128, etc.

It has very nice and cool plugins which will alert you in case your squid boxes 
are failing. 

Check out the following website:

Hope it helps. 

Thanking you...
