VARNISHSTAT(1)		     General Commands Manual		  VARNISHSTAT(1)

NAME
     varnishstat - Varnish Cache statistics

SYNOPSIS
     varnishstat [-1] [-f <glob>] [-h] [-I <glob>] [-j] [-l] [-n <workdir>] [-r]
     [-t <seconds|off>] [-V] [-X <glob>] [-x]

DESCRIPTION
     The  varnishstat utility displays statistics from a running varnishd(1) in-
     stance.

     The following options are available:

     -1     Instead of presenting a continuously updated display, print the sta-
	    tistics to stdout.

     -f <glob>
	    Legacy field filtering glob. Use backslash to escape characters.  If
	    the argument starts with '^' it is used as an exclusive glob. Multi-
	    ple  -f arguments may be given. Legacy filtering globs are run along
	    with inclusion globs (-I arguments) and exclusion  globs  (-X  argu-
	    ments) in order on a first-match basis.

     -h     Print program usage and exit

     -I <glob>
	    Field  inclusion  glob. Use backslash to escape characters. Multiple
	    -I	arguments may be given. Exclusion globs are run in  order  along
	    with  exclusion  globs (-X arguments) and legacy filtering globs (-f
	    arguments) on a first-match basis.

     -j     Print statistics to stdout as JSON.

     -l     Lists the available fields to use with the -f option.

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

     -r     Toggle raw or adjusted gauges, adjusted is the default.

     -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 immedi-
	    ately if unsuccessful. If set to  "off",  the  connection  will  not
	    fail,  allowing  the  utility to start and wait indefinitely for the
	    Varnish instance to appear.  Defaults to 5 seconds.

     -V     Print version information and exit.

     -X <glob>
	    Field exclusion glob. Use backslash to escape  characters.	Multiple
	    -X	 arguments  may be given. Exclusion globs are run in order along
	    with inclusion globs (-I arguments) and legacy filtering  globs  (-f
	    arguments) on a first-match basis.

     -x     Print statistics to stdout as XML.

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

CURSES MODE
     When neither -1, -j nor -x options are given, the application starts up  in
     curses  mode. This shows a continuously updated view of the counter values,
     along with their description.

     The top area shows process uptime information.

     The center area shows a list of counter values.

     The bottom area shows the description of the currently selected counter.

     On startup, only counters at INFO level are shown.

   Columns
     The following columns are displayed, from left to right:

     Name   The name of the counter

     Current
	    The current value of the counter.

     Change
	    The average per second change over the last update interval.

     Average
	    The average value of this counter over the runtime	of  the  Varnish
	    daemon, or a period if the counter can't be averaged.

     Avg_10
	    The moving average over the last 10 update intervals.

     Avg_100
	    The moving average over the last 100 update intervals.

     Avg_1000
	    The moving average over the last 1000 update intervals.

   Key bindings
     <h>    Toggle the help screen.

     <UP> or <k>
	    Navigate the counter list one line up.

     <DOWN> or <j>
	    Navigate the counter list one line down.

     <PAGEUP> or <b> or <CTRL-B>
	    Navigate the counter list one page up.

     <PAGEDOWN> or <SPACE> or <CTRL-F>
	    Navigate the counter list one page down.

     <HOME> or <g>
	    Navigate the counter list to the top.

     <END> or <G>
	    Navigate the counter list to the bottom.

     <d>    Toggle  between  showing and hiding unseen counters. Unseen counters
	    are those that has been zero for the entire runtime of  varnishstat.
	    Defaults to hide unseen counters.

     <r>    Toggle  between  showing  raw  and	adjusted gauges. When a gauge is
	    decremented faster than it is incremented, it may appear as a  large
	    integer  with  its	most significant bit set. By default such values
	    are adjusted to zero.

     <e>    Toggle scaling of values.

     <v>    Increase verbosity. Defaults to only showing informational counters.

     <V>    Decrease verbosity. Defaults to only showing informational counters.

     <q>    Quit.

     <CTRL+T>
	    Sample now.

     <0>    Reset averages.

     <+>    Increase refresh interval.

     <->    Decrease refresh interval.

OUTPUTS
     The XML output format is:

	<varnishstat timestamp="YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:SS">
	  <stat>
	    <name>FIELD NAME</name>
	    <value>FIELD VALUE</value>
	    <flag>FIELD SEMANTICS</flag>
	    <format>FIELD DISPLAY FORMAT</format>
	    <description>FIELD DESCRIPTION</description>
	  </stat>
	  [..]
	</varnishstat>

     The JSON output format is:

	{
	  "timestamp": "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:SS",
	  "FIELD NAME": {
	    "description": "FIELD DESCRIPTION",
	    "flag": "FIELD SEMANTICS", "format": "FIELD DISPLAY FORMAT",
	    "value": FIELD VALUE
	  },
	  "FIELD NAME": {
	    "description": "FIELD DESCRIPTION",
	    "flag": "FIELD SEMANTICS", "format": "FIELD DISPLAY FORMAT",
	    "value": FIELD VALUE
	  },
	  [..]
	}

     Timestamp is the time when the report was generated by varnishstat.
