Is there a way to stop probes to disabled backends without restart<br>
Varnish?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div style>Ideally you should be able to vcl.discard the vcl and the probes should stop. However, some threads might keep a reference to the old VCL. Since Varnish is scheduling threads in a LIFO manner some threads might keep references quite long as they are idle.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>You can try setting "release VCL early" in the diag_bitmap (see man varnishd). Or you could try to create a short burst of traffic that makes sure every thread is touched. Then they will notice that they haven't got the latest VCL and release the reference to the old one. </div>
