NAME
       varnishhist - Varnish request histogram

SYNOPSIS
       varnishhist  [-B	 <factor>]  [-C]  [-d]	[-g  <request|vxid>]  [-h] [-L
       <limit>]	[-n <workdir>] [-p <period>] [-P  responsetime]	 [-P  reqbody-
       time]  [-P size]	[-P Bereqtime] [-P Beresptime] [-P BerespBodytime] [-P
       Besize] [-P <[cbE:]tag:[prefix]:field_num[:min:max]>] [-Q  <file>]  [-q
       <query>]	[-r <filename>]	[-t <seconds|off>] [-T <seconds>] [-V]

DESCRIPTION
       The  varnishhist	 utility  reads	 varnishd(1)  shared  memory  logs and
       presents	a continuously updated histogram showing the  distribution  of
       the last	N requests by their processing.	 The value of N	and the	verti-
       cal  scale  are displayed in the	top left corner.  The horizontal scale
       is logarithmic.	Hits are marked	 with  a  pipe	character  ("|"),  and
       misses are marked with a	hash character ("#").

       The following options are available:

       -B <factor>
	      Factor to	bend time by. Particularly useful when [-r]eading from
	      a	 vsl  file.  =1	 process in near real time, <1 slow-motion, >1
	      time-lapse (useless unless reading from a	file). At  runtime,  <
	      halves and > doubles.

       -C     Do all regular expression	and string matching caseless.

       -d     Process log records at the head of the log and exit.

       -g <request|vxid>
	      The  grouping  of	 the  log  records. The	default	is to group by
	      vxid.

       -h     Print program usage and exit

       -L <limit>
	      Sets the upper limit of incomplete transactions kept before  the
	      oldest  transaction is force completed. A	warning	record is syn-
	      thesized when this happens. This setting keeps an	upper bound on
	      the memory usage of running queries. Defaults to	1000  transac-
	      tions.

       -n <workdir>
	      Specify  the varnish working directory of	the instance to	attach
	      to. See varnishd(1) -n option documentation for  additional  in-
	      formation	and defaults.

       -p <period>
	      Specified	 the  number  of seconds between screen	refreshes. De-
	      fault is 1 second, and can be changed at runtime by pressing the
	      [0-9] keys (powers of 2 in seconds or + and - (double/halve  the
	      speed).

       -P responsetime
	      Predefined  client  profile:  graph the total time from start of
	      request processing (first	byte received) until ready to  deliver
	      the client response (field 3 of SLT_Timestamp Process: VSL tag).

       -P reqbodytime
	      Predefined  client  profile:  graph the time for reading the re-
	      quest body (field	3 of SLT_Timestamp ReqBody: VSL	tag).

       -P size
	      Predefined client	profile: graph the size	of responses (field  5
	      of SLT_ReqAcct  VSL tag).

       -P Bereqtime
	      Predefined  backend  profile:  graph  the	time from beginning of
	      backend processing until a backend request  is  sent  completely
	      (field 3 of SLT_Timestamp	Bereq: VSL tag).

       -P Beresptime
	      Predefined  backend  profile:  graph  the	time from beginning of
	      backend processing until the response headers are	being received
	      completely (field	3 of SLT_Timestamp Beresp: VSL tag).

       -P BerespBodytime
	      Predefined backend profile: graph	the  time  from	 beginning  of
	      backend  processing  until  the  response	body has been received
	      (field 3 of SLT_Timestamp	BerespBody: VSL	tag).

       -P Besize
	      Predefined backend profile: graph	the backend response body size
	      (field 5 of SLT_BereqAcct	 VSL tag).

       -P <[cbE:]tag:[prefix]:field_num[:min:max]>
	      Graph the	 given	custom	definition  defined  as:  an  optional
	      (c)lient,	 (b)ackend  or	(E)SI filter (defaults to client), the
	      tag we'll	look for, a prefix to look for (can be empty, but must
	      be terminated by a colon)	and the	field number of	the  value  we
	      are  interested  in. min and max are the boundaries of the graph
	      in powers	of ten and default to -6 and 3.

       -Q <file>
	      Specifies	the file containing the	VSL query to use. When	multi-
	      ple  -Q  or -q options are specified, all	queries	are considered
	      as if the	'or' operator was used to combine them.

       -q <query>
	      Specifies	the VSL	query to use. When multiple -q or  -Q  options
	      are  specified, all queries are considered as if the 'or'	opera-
	      tor was used to combine them.

       -r <filename>
	      Read log in binary file format from this file. The file  can  be
	      created  with varnishlog -w filename. If the filename is -, logs
	      are read from the	standard input.	and cannot work	as a daemon.

       -t <seconds|off>
	      Timeout before returning error on	initial	VSM connection.	If set
	      the VSM connection is retried every 0.5 seconds  for  this  many
	      seconds.	If zero	the connection is attempted only once and will
	      fail immediately if unsuccessful.	If set to "off",  the  connec-
	      tion  will  not fail, allowing the utility to start and wait in-
	      definitely for the Varnish instance to appear.   Defaults	 to  5
	      seconds.

       -T <seconds>
	      Sets  the	transaction timeout in seconds.	This defines the maxi-
	      mum number of seconds elapsed between a Begin tag	 and  the  End
	      tag. If the timeout expires, a warning record is synthesized and
	      the transaction is force completed. Defaults to 120 seconds.

       -V     Print version information	and exit.

       --optstring
	      Print the	optstring parameter to getopt(3) to help writing wrap-
	      per scripts.
