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:
VARNISH 6.4:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <varnishstat timestamp="2020-07-01T15:38:00"> <stat> <name>MGT.uptime</name> <value>60710</value> <flag>c</flag> <format>d</format> <description>Management process uptime</description> </stat> <stat> <name>MGT.child_start</name> <value>1</value> <flag>c</flag> <format>i</format> <description>Child process started</description> </stat> <stat> <name>MGT.child_exit</name> <value>0</value> <flag>c</flag> <format>i</format> <description>Child process normal exit</description> </stat> <stat> <name>MGT.child_stop</name> <value>0</value> <flag>c</flag> <format>i</format> <description>Child process unexpected exit</description> </stat> <stat> <name>MGT.child_died</name> <value>0</value> <flag>c</flag> <format>i</format> <description>Child process died (signal)</description> </stat>
VARNISH 4
<?xml version="1.0"?> <varnishstat timestamp="2020-07-01T15:37:43"> <stat> <type>MAIN</type> <name>uptime</name> <value>13848724</value> <flag>c</flag> <format>d</format> <description>Child process uptime</description> </stat> <stat> <type>MAIN</type> <name>sess_conn</name> <value>250458042</value> <flag>c</flag> <format>i</format> <description>Sessions accepted</description> </stat> <stat> <type>MAIN</type> <name>sess_drop</name> <value>0</value> <flag>c</flag> <format>i</format> <description>Sessions dropped</description> </stat> <stat> <type>MAIN</type> <name>sess_fail</name> <value>0</value> <flag>c</flag> <format>i</format> <description>Session accept failures</description> </stat> <stat> <type>MAIN</type> <name>client_req_400</name> <value>1236</value> <flag>c</flag> <format>i</format> <description>Client requests received, subject to 400 errors</description> </stat>
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
