Varnishstatbeat

Varnishstatbeat is an Elastic beat that collects Stats data from a Varnish Shared Memory file and ships it to Elasticsearch.

Varnishstatbeat uses vago.

If you are looking to run older version of Varnish check for the corresponding branch.

Requirements

• Go >= 1.14
• pkg-config
• varnish-dev >= 6.0

You will also need to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to the directory where varnishapi.pc is located before running go get. For example:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig

Build

Install and run Elasticsearch.

Run varnishstatbeat with debugging output enabled:

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/phenomenes/varnishstatbeat
varnishstatbeat -c varnishstatbeat.yml -e -d "*"

Additionally you can install Kibana to visualize the data.
