Varnish statistics

[Audun Ytterdal]

Here is a thought.

We like varnish, we like munin, we like statistics...

Right now it's hard to get information about which backend get what kind
of traffic, how much of your traffic is hindered by cookies and so forth

My tought:

sub vcl_recv {
        set req.grace = 15s;

        if (!req.url ~ "^\/tabkonk/" && !req.url ~ "^\/live\/") {
                inc varcount.tabkonkcookieremove;
                remove req.http.cookie;
        }

       if (req.http.referer ~"^x-gadg") {
               inc varcount.xgadgetblocked;
               error 403 "x-gadget blocked";
       }

        if (req.http.host ~ "^skatt.vg.no$"){
             inc varcount.backendskatt; 
             set req.backend = skatt;
        } elseif (req.http.host ~ "^nyheter.vg.no$"){
                inc varcount.backendnyheter;
                set req.backend = nyheter;

.......
   
This way, probably with a better sounding syntax, you could have
counters for just about anything, and output them them through
varnishstat, and then graph them with munin or similar tool.

Any thoughts?
