Varnish Cache

[benben]

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone knew if of any work being done on a plugin for Varnish (http://varnish.projects.linpro.no/)

I noticed that there is a plugin for munin and thought it might be easy to do for cacti?
(http://muninexchange.projects.linpro.no ... 4&phid=220)

If anyone would be interested in helping me, drop a message...

Thanks - Ben

to save your valued time you should check cactiEz http://cactiusers.org/wiki/CactiEZ,
which uses eAccelerator as well as cacti Boost plugin http://forums.cacti.net/about24107.html

i doubt Varnish could introduce anything new...

I think you misunderstand what I am trying to do - I already have a cacti install and varnish running. I just would like to graph varnish statistics with cacti.

That's not really a plugin, but a template.
Since i haven't got Varnish running, I can't make such a Template, but it can't be to difficult.
What you could do(there are multiple ways to do the same thing):

1) Modify the scripts you posted so it writes the values to a textfile to a path accessible by your cactiserver, for example in you wwwroot of the server running Varnish.
2) Schedule the scripts so the textfile is refreshed every 5 minutes.
3) Create a script on your cactiserver that fetches the textfile, and prints the values just like any other cacti script.
4) You could then create a Data Input Method, Data Template and Graph Template(like in the Howto's).
