NAME

       varnishsizes - Varnish object size request histogram

SYNOPSIS

       varnishsizes [-b] [-C] [-c] [-d] [-I regex] [-i tag] [-m tag:regex ...]
              [-n varnish_name] [-r file] [-V] [-w delay] [-X regex] [-x tag]

DESCRIPTION

       The  varnishsizes  utility  reads  varnishd(1)  shared  memory  logs  and presents a continuously updated
       histogram showing the distribution of the last N requests by their processing.  The value of  N  and  the
       vertical  scale  are  displayed  in  the  top  left  corner.   The  horizontal  scale  is  a  logarithmic
       representation of bytes.  Hits are marked with a pipe character ("|"), and misses are marked with a  hash
       character ("#").

       The following options are available:

       -b     Include  log  entries which result from communication with a backend server.  If neither -b nor -c
              is specified, varnishsizes acts as if they both were.

       -C     Ignore case when matching regular expressions.

       -c     Include log entries which result from communication with a  client.   If  neither  -b  nor  -c  is
              specified, varnishsizes acts as if they both were.

       -d     Process  old  log  entries on startup.  Normally, varnishsizes will only process entries which are
              written to the log after it starts.

       -I regex
              Include log entries which match the specified  regular  expression.   If  neither  -I  nor  -i  is
              specified, all log entries are included.

       -i tag Include  log  entries  with the specified tag.  If neither -I nor -i is specified, all log entries
              are included.

       -m tag:regex only list record where tag matches regex. Multiple -m
              options are AND-ed together.

       -n     Specifies the name of the varnishd instance to get logs from.  If -n is not  specified,  the  host
              name is used.

       -r file
              Read log entries from file instead of shared memory.

       -V     Display the version number and exit.

       -w delay
              Wait  at  least  delay seconds between each update.  The default is 1.  file instead of displaying
              them.  The file will be overwritten unless the -a option was specified.

       -X regex
              Exclude log entries which match the specified regular expression.

       -x tag Exclude log entries with the specified tag.
