Varnishlogbeat

Varnishlogbeat is an Elastic beat that reads log data from a Varnish Shared Memory file and ships it to Elasticsearch.

Varnishlogbeat uses vago.

If you are looking to run older versions of Varnish check the corresponding branch.

Requirements

• Go >= 1.14
• pkg-config
• varnish-dev >= 6.x

You will also need to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to the directory where varnishapi.pc is located before running go get. For example:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig

Build

go get github.com/phenomenes/varnishlogbeat

Run

Install and run Elasticsearch.

Run varnishlogbeat with debugging output enabled:

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/phenomenes/varnishlogbeat
varnishlogbeat -c varnishlogbeat.yml -e -d "*"

Additionally you can install Kibana to visualize the data.

Run on Docker

docker-compose up --build

The above command will create the following containers:

• Kibana
• Varnishlogbeat / Varnish
• Nginx
• Elasticsearch
