Hi,
I have already used varnish agent on a server with version 4, now I'm trying to let it work on varnish version 6.4.
observium_agent is responding, but the result of varnish agent is empty :
<<<app-varnish>>>
;;;;;;;;;;;;;
instead of:
<<<app-varnish>>>
212916238;0;0;1393;0;;0;0;393297;1216912816;160350799;0;657384598;
like I have on the old one.
If I lunch perl varnish I don't get any particular error, maybe the agent must be updated to work with new versions?
I see varnish perl script is using varnishstat -x , and the results are somehow different from the old varnish version:

I tried to change the code, because as you can see the parameters are similar but the name now have a prefix like MGT, but mostly "MAIN." for the parameters we are trying to get .
I'm no perl esxpert I tried simply to add MAIN. but it still isn't working...
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Simone
