+
+# Varnish Cache monitoring with Netdata
+
+Provides HTTP accelerator global, Backends (VBE) and Storages (SMF, SMA, MSE) statistics using `varnishstat` tool.
+
+Note that both, Varnish-Cache (free and open source) and Varnish-Plus (Commercial/Enterprise version), are supported.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- `netdata` user must be a member of the `varnish` group
+
+## Charts
+
+This module produces the following charts:
+
+- Connections Statistics in `connections/s`
+- Client Requests in `requests/s`
+- All History Hit Rate Ratio in `percent`
+- Current Poll Hit Rate Ratio in `percent`
+- Expired Objects in `expired/s`
+- Least Recently Used Nuked Objects in `nuked/s`
+- Number Of Threads In All Pools in `pools`
+- Threads Statistics in `threads/s`
+- Current Queue Length in `requests`
+- Backend Connections Statistics in `connections/s`
+- Requests To The Backend in `requests/s`
+- ESI Statistics in `problems/s`
+- Memory Usage in `MiB`
+- Uptime in `seconds`
+
+For every backend (VBE):
+
+- Backend Response Statistics in `kilobits/s`
+
+For every storage (SMF, SMA, or MSE):
+
+- Storage Usage in `KiB`
+- Storage Allocated Objects
+
+## Configuration
+
+Edit the `python.d/varnish.conf` configuration file using `edit-config` from the Netdata [config
+directory](/docs/configure/nodes.md), which is typically at `/etc/netdata`.
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
+sudo ./edit-config python.d/varnish.conf
+```
+
+Only one parameter is supported:
+
+```yaml
+instance_name: 'name'
+```
+
+The name of the `varnishd` instance to get logs from. If not specified, the host name is used.
