How to monitor varnish with snmp

[Angelo Höngens]

I extended net-snmp with two scripts, to return some counters:

$ cat /usr/local/share/snmp/scripts/NM_VARNISH_TOTALHITS.sh
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/varnishstat -1 -f cache_hit | awk '{ print $2 }'

$ cat /usr/local/share/snmp/scripts/NM_VARNISH_TOTALREQS.sh
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/varnishstat -1 -f client_req | awk '{ print $2 }'

These are then imported into cacti, and I can calculate the hit ratio and requests/sec. I'm interested to hear from the Varnish guru's if they suggest any more counter worth graphing:

I am so much interested in the same topic. I tried creating my own OIDs and getting the output of a shell script into them, but failed, the OID never resturned any value. May any body give us a simple guidance ?
