Hello, I'm a new Varnish user (coming from Squid - glad to be rid of it) but I'm seeing some strange behaviour when I test load a Varnish server. I have a configuration of 4 machines with 250 http client test threads each requesting a set of 46 files from 2,000 virtual hosts (92,000 objects total). But while it's running, I see the following:
# while ((1)); do date varnishstat -1 | grep n_object sleep 5 done n_object will climb steadily and then all of a sudden, it all goes away: n_objecthead 86765 . N struct objecthead Mon Apr 14 11:51:06 PDT 2008 n_object 86780 . N struct object n_objecthead 86782 . N struct objecthead Mon Apr 14 11:51:11 PDT 2008 n_object 358 . N struct object n_objecthead 358 . N struct objecthead Mon Apr 14 11:51:16 PDT 2008 n_object 358 . N struct object n_objecthead 358 . N struct objecthead I don't see anything in varnishlog -i Error when this happens but I'm not sure where to look. Here's my config: param.show 200 783 user nobody (65534) group nogroup (65533) default_ttl 86400 [seconds] thread_pools 1 [pools] thread_pool_max 1000 [threads] thread_pool_min 1 [threads] thread_pool_timeout 120 [seconds] overflow_max 100 [%] http_workspace 8192 [bytes] sess_timeout 5 [seconds] pipe_timeout 60 [seconds] send_timeout 600 [seconds] auto_restart on [bool] fetch_chunksize 128 [kilobytes] sendfile_threshold unlimited [bytes] vcl_trace off [bool] listen_address ":80" listen_depth 1024 [connections] srcaddr_hash 1049 [buckets] srcaddr_ttl 30 [seconds] backend_http11 off [bool] client_http11 off [bool] ping_interval 3 [seconds] storage is varnishd_storage="file,/var/cache/varnish,128G" (pre-alloced) on FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE Thanks for helping this Varnish newbie.
