NAME

6       varnishstat - Varnish Cache statistics
7

SYNOPSIS

9       varnishstat  [-1]  [-f  <glob>]  [-h]  [-j]  [-l]  [-n <dir>] [-t <sec‐
10       onds|off>] [-V] [-x]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The varnishstat utility displays statistics from a running  varnishd(1)
14       instance.
15
16       The following options are available:
17
18       -1     Instead  of presenting a continuously updated display, print the
19              statistics to stdout.
20
21       -f <glob>
22              Field inclusion glob. Use backslash to escape characters. If the
23              argument starts with '^' it is used as an exclusive glob. Multi‐
24              ple -f arguments may be given. Inclusive globs are  accumulative
25              and are run before exclusive ones.
26
27       -h     Print program usage and exit
28
29       -j     Print statistics to stdout as JSON.
30
31       -l     Lists the available fields to use with the -f option.
32
33       -n <dir>
34              Specify  the  varnishd working directory (also known as instance
35              name) to get logs from. If -n is not specified, the host name is
36              used.
37
38       -t <seconds|off>
39              Timeout before returning error on initial VSM connection. If set
40              the VSM connection is retried every 0.5 seconds  for  this  many
41              seconds.  If zero the connection is attempted only once and will
42              fail immediately if unsuccessful. If set to "off",  the  connec‐
43              tion will not fail, allowing the utility to start and wait inde‐
44              finetely for the Varnish instance to appear.  Defaults to 5 sec‐
45              onds.
46
47       -V     Print version information and exit.
48
49       -x     Print statistics to stdout as XML.
50
51       --optstring
52              Print the optstring parameter to getopt(3) to help writing wrap‐
53              per scripts.
54

CURSES MODE

56       When neither -1, -j nor -x options are given, the application starts up
57       in  curses  mode. This shows a continuously updated view of the counter
58       values, along with their description.
59
60       The top area shows process uptime information.
61
62       The center area shows a list of counter values.
63
64       The bottom  area  shows  the  description  of  the  currently  selected
65       counter.
66
67       On startup, only counters at INFO level are shown.
68
69   Columns
70       The following columns are displayed, from left to right:
71
72       Name   The name of the counter
73
74       Current
75              The current value of the counter.
76
77       Change The average per second change over the last update interval.
78
79       Average
80              The  average  value of this counter over the runtime of the Var‐
81              nish daemon, or a period if the counter can't be averaged.
82
83       Avg_10 The moving average over the last 10 update intervals.
84
85       Avg_100
86              The moving average over the last 100 update intervals.
87
