NAME
varnishstat - Varnish Cache statistics
SYNOPSIS
varnishstat [-1] [-f <glob>] [-h] [-j] [-l] [-n <name>] [-N <filename>] [-t <seconds|off>] [-V] [-x]
DESCRIPTION
The varnishstat utility displays statistics from a running varnishd(1) instance. The following options are available: -1 Instead of presenting a continuously updated display, print the statistics to stdout. -f <glob> Field inclusion glob. Use backslash to escape characters. If the argument starts with '^' it is used as an exclusion glob. Multiple -f arguments may be given, and they will be applied in order. -h Print program usage and exit -j Print statistics to stdout as JSON. -l Lists the available fields to use with the -f option. -n <name> Specify the name of the varnishd instance to get logs from. If -n is not specified, the host name is used. -N <filename> Specify the filename of a stale VSM instance. When using this option the abandonment checking is disabled. -t <seconds|off> Timeout before returning error on initial VSM connection. If set the VSM connection is retried every 0.5 seconds for this many seconds. If zero the connection is attempted only once and will fail immediately if unsuccessful. If set to "off", the connection will not fail, allowing the utility to start and wait indefinetely for the Varnish instance to appear. Defaults to 5 seconds. -V Print version information and exit. -x Print statistics to stdout as XML.
CURSES MODE
When neither -1, -j or -x options are given, the application starts up

The bottom area shows the description of the currently selected
counter.
