Comment (by martin):

 Hi,

 We believe that what you are experiencing is due to resource exhaustion on
 your virtual machine, and the monitoring thread in Varnish is being
 starved.

 The memory available to your Varnish instance seems on the low side, with
 only 2GB configured on the VM. This should be increased. If that is not
 possible, you could prevent Varnish scaling up to using too much memory by
 setting a much lower max number of threads. Maybe as low as 100-150.

 You could also try to disable the core dumps on the box to see if there
 are any hidden panic message that gets eaten due to cores taking too long
 time. Though I don't expect this to be the case.

 Regards,
 Martin Blix Grydeland
