=head1 NAME

varnish4_ - Munin plugin to monitor various aspects of varnish

=head1 APPLICABLE SYSTEMS

Varnish 4.x with varnishstat

=head1 CONFIGURATION

The plugin needs to be able to execute varnishstat.

The configuration section shows the defaults
  [varnish4_*]
     env.varnishstat varnishstat
     env.name

env.varnishstat can be a full path to varnishstat if it's
not in the path already.

env.name is blank (undefined) by default and can be used to specify a -n
name argument to varnish if multiple instances are running on the same
server.

A few aspects are not linked by default. They are marked as
'DEBUG' => 'yes' (or any other value). They are:

vcl, bans, bans_lurker, lru, objects_per_objhead,
losthdr, esi, hcb, shm, shm_writes, overflow,
session, session_herd, gzip

You can link them yourself with something like this:

  ln -s @@LIBDIR@@/plugins/varnish4_ \
    @@CONFDIR@@/plugins/varnish4_data_structures

=head1 INTERPRETATION

Each graph uses data from varnishstat.

=head1 MAGIC MARKERS

 #%# family=auto
 #%# capabilities=autoconf suggest

=head1 VERSION

 $Id$

=head1 BUGS

The hit_rate graph requires munin r2040 or newer to display
correctly.

=head1 PATCHES-TO

Please send patches to Kristian Lyngstol <kristian@bohemians.org>
and/or varnish-misc@varnish-cache.org for significant changes. Munin SVN
is the authoritative repository for this plugin.

# Parameters that can be defined on a value-to-value basis and will be

# Varnishstat data is stored here. Example
# ('n_vbe' => { 'value' => '124', 'description'=>...,'flag'=>... }, SMA =>
# { s0 => { 'value' => '...', 'flag'=> '...' },'Transient' => ...})
# Both dynamic and static counters are kept here.
#
# Notes:
#  - The 'flag' field for a counter is in RRD-dialect, not varnishstat
my %data;

# Data structure that defines all possible graphs (aspects) and how they
# are to be plotted. Every top-level entry is a graph/aspect. Each
# top-level graph MUST have title set and 'values'.
#
# The 'values' hash must have at least one value definition. The actual
# value used is either fetched from varnishstat based on the value-name, or
# if 'rpn' is defined: calculated. 'type' SHOULD be set.
#
# Graphs with 'DEBUG' set to anything is omitted from 'suggest'.
#
# 'rpn' on values allows easy access to graphs consisting of multiple
# values from varnishstat. (Reverse polish notation). The RPN
# implementation only accepts +-*/ and varnishstat-values.
#
# With the exception of 'label', which is filled with the
# varnishstat-description if left undefined, any value left undefined will
# be left up to Munin to define/ignore/yell about.
#
# For dynamic counters, the values listed need to specify a counter and
# family. This will plot the specified counter for each identity within
# that family. Example: family of SMA, counter c_fail. This will create a
# c_fail-counter for each of the SMA-identities (e.g: Transient, s0, etc).
# For dynamic graphs, the value-name is only used to identify the data
# point, and does not relate to any varnishstat data as that is set by
# family/counter.
#
# Note that dynamic counters fetch the type from the XML and things like
# min/max are currently not supported (and silently ignored).
#
# See munin documentation or rrdgraph/rrdtool for more information.

# <state>. Updating %state on each new data field, and commit it to %data
# when </state> is seen.
#
# We do use translate_type() on the 'flag' field.
