NAME
       varnishhist - Varnish request histogram

SYNOPSIS
       varnishhist [-b] [-C] [-c] [-d] [-I regex] [-i tag] [-m tag:regex ...]  [-n varnish_name] [-r file] [-V] [-w delay] [-X regex] [-x tag]

DESCRIPTION
       The  varnishhist  utility  reads varnishd(1) shared memory logs and presents a continuously updated histogram show- ing the distribution of
       the last N requests by their processing.  The value of N and the vertical scale are dis- played in the top  left  corner.   The	horizontal
       scale is logarithmic.  Hits are marked with a pipe character ("|"), and misses are marked with a hash character ("#").

       The following options are available:

       -b     Include  log  entries which result from communication with a backend server.  If neither -b nor -c is specified, varnishhist 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, varnishhist acts as  if  they
	      both were.

       -d     Process old log entries on startup.  Normally, varnishhist 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.

       -m tag:regex only count transactions where tag matches regex. Multiple

	      -m options are AND-ed together.

       -n     Specifies the name of the varnishd instance to get logs from.  If -n is not specified, the host name is used.

       -r file
	      Read log entries from file instead of shared memory.

       -V     Display the version number and exit.

       -w delay
	      Wait  at least delay seconds between each update.  The default is 1.  file instead of displaying them.  The file will be overwritten
	      unless the -a option was specified.

       -X regex
	      Exclude log entries which match the specified regular expression.

       -x tag Exclude log entries with the specified tag.
