varnishlog [-a] [-b] [-C] [-c] [-D] [-d] [-I regex] [-i tag] [-k keep] [-n varnish_name] [-o] [-P file] [-r file] [-s num] [-u] [-V] [-w file] [-X regex] [-x tag] [tag regex]
The varnishlog utility reads and presents varnishd(1) shared memory logs.
The following options are available:
-a | When writing to a file, append to it rather than overwrite it. |
-b | Include log entries which result from communication with a backend server. If neither -b nor -c is specified, varnishlog 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, varnishlog acts as if they both were. |
-D | Daemonize. |
-d | Process old log entries on startup. Normally, varnishlog 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. |
-k num | Only show the first num log records. |
-n | Specifies the name of the varnishd instance to get logs from. If -n is not specified, the host name is used. |
-o | Group log entries by request ID. This has no effect when writing to a file using the -w option. |
-P file | Write the process’s PID to the specified file. |
-r file | Read log entries from file instead of shared memory. |
-s num | Skip the first num log records. |
-u | Unbuffered output. |
-V | Display the version number and exit. |
-w file | Write log entries to file instead of displaying them. The file will be overwritten unless the -a option was specified. If varnishlog receives a SIGHUP while writing to a file, it will reopen the file, allowing the old one to be rotated away. |
-X regex | Exclude log entries which match the specified regular expression. |
-x tag | Exclude log entries with the specified tag. |
If the -o option was specified, an additional tag and regex may be specified to select only requests which generated a log entry with the given tag whose contents match the given regex.
The following log entry tags are currently defined:
The following command line simply copies all log entries to a log file::
$ varnishlog -w /var/log/varnish.log
The following command line reads that same log file and displays requests for the front page::
$ varnishlog -r /var/log/varnish.log -c -o RxURL '^/$'
The varnishlog utility was developed by Poul-Henning Kamp ⟨phk@phk.freebsd.dk⟩ in cooperation with Verdens Gang AS, Linpro AS and Varnish Software. This manual page was initially written by Dag-Erling Smørgrav.
