Google analytics isn't actually free, btw....

And it only works for eyeball sites since it depends on javascript running 
in the browser.  So for those of us that run webservices your answer is a 
nonstarter.

GA has no way to give you real network or connection statistics since it 
doesnt ever talk to your server.


For the OP, afaik short of building your own stats collection/reporting 
system inside varnish (vmod or inline c), your best bet is to gather this 
data at your webserver/application server(s).  Admittedly this leaves out 
cached responses.

Alternately, use varnishncsa to logfiles and process them like any 
webserver logs.....
