You need to match the line correctly (with literals and wildcards, etc). It seems you are only matching an optional '/' and then the literal string 'va' and then zero or more 'r' (greedy) and then the literal string 'lo' and then an optional 'g'.... which is not correct.

First of all, is '/var/log/*' always at the beginning of the line? What comes after?

It is always best to post the text in the file or variable you are trying to match so any member who wants to reply can test what they are doing against the text, not just incomplete fragments.

NAME
varnishlog - Display Varnish logs SYNOPSIS
varnishlog [-a] [-b] [-C] [-c] [-D] [-d] [-I regex] [-i tag] [-k keep] [-n varnish_name] [-o] [-O] [-m tag:regex ...] [-P file] [-r file] [-s num] [-u] [-V] [-w file] [-X regex] [-x tag] DESCRIPTION
The varnishlog utility reads and presents varnishd(1) shared memory logs. The following options are available: -a When writing to a file, append to it rather than overwrite it. -b Include log entries which result from communication with a backend server. If neither -b nor -c is specified, varnishlog acts as if they both were. -C Ignore case when matching regular expressions. -c Include log entries which result from communication with a client. If neither -b nor -c is specified, varnishlog acts as if they both were. -D Daemonize. -d Process old log entries on startup. Normally, varnishlog will only process entries which are written to the log after it starts. -I regex Include log entries which match the specified regular expression. If neither -I nor -i is specified, all log entries are included. -i tag Include log entries with the specified tag. If neither -I nor -i is specified, all log entries are included. -k num Only show the first num log records. -m tag:regex only list transactions where tag matches regex. Multiple -m options are AND-ed together. Can not be combined with -O -n Specifies the name of the varnishd instance to get logs from. If -n is not specified, the host name is used. -o Ignored for compatibility with earlier versions. -O Do not group log entries by request ID. Can not be combined with -m. -P file Write the process's PID to the specified file. -r file Read log entries from file instead of shared memory. -s num Skip the first num log records. -u Unbuffered output. -V Display the version number and exit. -w file Write log entries to file instead of displaying them. The file will be overwritten unless the -a option was specified. If var- nishlog receives a SIGHUP while writing to a file, it will reopen the file, allowing the old one to be rotated away. -X regex Exclude log entries which match the specified regular expression. -x tag Exclude log entries with the specified tag. TAGS
The following log entry tags are currently defined: o Backend o BackendClose o BackendOpen o BackendReuse o BackendXID o CLI o ClientAddr o Debug o Error o ExpBan o ExpKill o ExpPick o Hit o HitPass o HttpError o HttpGarbage o Length o ObjHeader o ObjLostHeader o ObjProtocol o ObjRequest o ObjResponse o ObjStatus o ObjURL o ReqEnd o ReqStart o RxHeader o RxLostHeader o RxProtocol o RxRequest o RxResponse o RxStatus o RxURL o SessionClose o SessionOpen o StatAddr o StatSess o TTL o TxHeader o TxLostHeader o TxProtocol o TxRequest o TxResponse o TxStatus o TxURL o VCL_acl o VCL_call o VCL_return o VCL_trace o WorkThread EXAMPLES
The following command line simply copies all log entries to a log file:: $ varnishlog -w /var/log/varnish.log The following command line reads that same log file and displays requests for the front page:: $ varnishlog -r /var/log/varnish.log -c -m 'RxURL:^/$' SEE ALSO
