NAME

       varnishstat - Varnish Cache statistics

SYNOPSIS

       varnishstat [-1] [-x] [-j] [-f field] [-l] [-n varnish_name] [-N filename] [-t seconds|<off>] [-V]

DESCRIPTION

       The varnishstat utility displays statistics from a running varnishd(1) instance.

OPTIONS

       The following options are available:

       -1     Instead of presenting a continuously updated display, print the statistics to stdout.

       -f     Field  inclusion  glob. A field glob consists of three parts, type, ident and name, where ident is
              optional. Each part can contain a '*' character at the end to match a  prefix.  Use  backslash  to
              escape  characters.  If  the argument starts with '^' it is used as an exclusion glob. Multiple -f
              arguments may be given, and they will be applied in order.

       -l     Lists the available fields to use with the -f option.

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

       -N     Specify a the filename of a stale VSM instance. When using this option the abandonment checking is
              disabled.

       -t seconds|<off>
              Timeout before returning error on initial VSM connection.  If set the VSM  connection  is  retried
              every  0.5  seconds  for  this any seconds. If zero the connection is attempted only once and will
              fail immediately if unsuccessful. If set to "off", the connection  will  not  fail,  allowing  the
              utility to start and wait indefinitely for the Varnish instance to appear.  Defaults to 5 seconds.

       -V     Display the version number and exit.

       -x     Displays the result as XML.

       -j     Displays the result as JSON.

CURSES MODE

       When  neither  -1,  -j  or  -x  options are given, the application starts up in curses mode. This shows a
       continuously updated view of the counter values, along with their description.

       The top area shows process uptime information.

       The center area shows a list of counter values.

       The bottom area shows the description of the currently selected counter.

   Columns
       The following columns are displayed, from left to right:

       Name   The name of the counter

       Current
              The current value of the counter.

       Change The average per second change over the last update interval.

       Average
              The average value of this counter over the runtime of the Varnish  daemon,  or  a  period  if  the
              counter can't be averaged.

       Avg_10 The moving average over the last 10 update intervals.

       Avg_100
              The moving average over the last 100 update intervals.

       Avg_1000
              The moving average over the last 1000 update intervals.

   Key bindings
       The following keys control the interactive display:

       <UP>   Navigate the counter list one line up.

       <DOWN> Navigate the counter list one line down.

       <PAGEUP> or <b>
              Navigate the counter list one page up.

       <PAGEDOWN> or <SPACE>
              Navigate the counter list one page down.

       <d>    Toggle  between  showing  and hiding unseen counters. Unseen counters are those that has been zero
              for the entire runtime of varnishstat. Defaults to hide unseen counters.

       <e>    Toggle scaling of values.

       <g>    Go to the top of the counter list.

       <G>    Go to the bottom of the counter list.

       <v>    Cycle through the verbosity levels. Defaults to only showing informational counters.

       <q>    Quit.

       <CTRL+T>
              Sample now.

XML OUTPUT

       When using the -x option, the output is:

       <varnishstat timestamp="YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:SS">
         <stat>
           <type>FIELD TYPE</type>
           <ident>FIELD IDENT</ident>
           <name>FIELD NAME</name>
           <value>FIELD VALUE</value>
           <flag>FIELD SEMANTICS</flag>
           <format>FIELD DISPLAY FORMAT</format>
           <description>FIELD DESCRIPTION</description>
         </stat>
         [..]
       </varnishstat>

JSON OUTPUT

       With -j the output format is:

       {
         "timestamp": "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:SS",
         "FIELD NAME": {
           "description": "FIELD DESCRIPTION",
           "type": "FIELD TYPE", "ident": "FIELD IDENT", "flag": "FIELD SEMANTICS", "format": "FIELD DISPLAY FORMAT",
           "value": FIELD VALUE
         },
         "FIELD2 NAME": {
           "description": "FIELD2 DESCRIPTION",
           "type": "FIELD2 TYPE", "ident": "FIELD2 IDENT", "flag": "FIELD2 SEMANTICS", "format": "FIELD2 DISPLAY FORMAT",
           "value": FIELD2 VALUE
         },
         [..]
       }

       Type and ident are optional.  Timestamp is the time when the report was generated by varnishstat.

       Repeated output with -1, -x or -j will have a single empty line (\n) between each block of output.
