DESCRIPTION

Varnish Module (vmod) for sending statistics to Statsd.

See https://github.com/etsy/statsd for documentation on Statsd.

FUNCTIONS

server

Prototype:

server(STRING S, STRING S)
Return value
NONE
Description
Set the address of your Statsd server. Best used in vcl_init. Defaults to "localhost", "8125"

Example:

statsd.server( "statsd.example.com", "8125" );

prefix

Prototype:

prefix(STRING S)
Return value
NONE
Description
Set a string to prefix to all the stats you will be sending. Best used in vcl_init. Defaults to an empty string.

Example:

# statsd.incr( "foo" ) will now send "dev.foo" to Statsd
statsd.prefix( "dev." );

suffix

Prototype:

suffix(STRING S)
Return value
NONE
Description
Set a string to suffix to all the stats you will be sending. Best used in vcl_init. Defaults to an empty string.

Example:

# statsd.incr( "foo" ) will now send "foo.dev" to Statsd
statsd.suffix( ".dev" );

incr

Prototype:

incr(STRING S)
Return value
NONE
Description
Send a stat counter with value '1' to Statsd. Will be prefixed & suffixed with whatever you set statsd.prefix & statsd.suffix to.

Example:

statsd.incr( "foo" );

counter

Prototype:

counter(STRING S, INT I)
Return value
NONE
Description
Send a stat counter with value I to Statsd. Will be prefixed & suffixed with whatever you set statsd.prefix & statsd.suffix to.

Example:

statsd.counter( "foo", 42 );

timing

Prototype:

timing(STRING S, INT I)
Return value
NONE
Description
Send a stat timer with value I to Statsd. Will be prefixed & suffixed with whatever you set statsd.prefix & statsd.suffix to.

Example:

statsd.timing( "foo", 42 );

gauge

Prototype:

gauge(STRING S, INT I)
Return value
NONE
Description
Send a stat gauge with value I to Statsd. Will be prefixed & suffixed with whatever you set statsd.prefix & statsd.suffix to.

Example:

statsd.gauge( "foo", 42 );

INSTALLATION

To install this module, you'll need to install some prerequisites. On Ubuntu, you can get these by running:

$ apt-get install automake libtool python-docutils libvarnishapi-dev make

You will also need a compiled version of the varnish source code, which you can get from here:

https://www.varnish-cache.org

The compilation of varnish is similar to this package. Please refer to the varnish documentation for all the options, but briefly, it is:

$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make

If you received this packge without a pre-generated configure script, you will have to generate it using 'autogen.sh'. Otherwise, you can move straight on to the 'configure' section under Usage.

Usage:

# Generate configure script
./autogen.sh

# Execute configure script
./configure VARNISHSRC=DIR [VMODDIR=DIR]

VARNISHSRC is the directory of the Varnish source tree for which to compile your vmod. Both the VARNISHSRC and VARNISHSRC/include will be added to the include search paths for your module.

Optionally you can also set the vmod install directory by adding VMODDIR=DIR (defaults to the pkg-config discovered directory from your Varnish installation).

Make targets:

  • make - builds the vmod
  • make install - installs your vmod in VMODDIR
  • make check - runs the unit tests in src/tests/*.vtc
