Configuration problem, possibly a PEBCAK.

I'm in the process of setting up a solution with Varnish running in the
front-end VM of a VMWare ESX solution.

The idea being to run a setup similar to this:

HTTP--Pound\,---apache22
-Varnish--
HTTPS-Pound/`---IIS

However, when requesting large files (50MB +) from the backends, the
pound--varnish connection times out, since varnish insists on fetching
the entire file before starting to send it to the pound frontend.

Is there a way to configure varnish to start sending what it receives
immediately, while still retaining a copy in the cache, or do I have to
make a choice between caching, or forwarding?

I have a similar problem with the gallery2 backend, which uses a
continuous updating http stream for progress-bars when performing long
operations (like rebuilding thumnails and resizes for 19K pictures!).
However I suspect that this problem is better solved by NOT caching
those pages (if I can find a pattern to exclude them, that is).

Any help would be appreciated.

And, btw, a wish for a happy new year to all list subscribers.

uptime not available to nagios plugin?

2008-12-31 Thread Sascha Ottolski
Hi,

bug or feature? The nagios plugin seems not to be able to extract the 
uptime:

img-proxy1:~# /usr/local/libexec/check_varnish -p uptime
Unknown parameter 'uptime'
VARNISH UNKNOWN: (null) (3)|uptime=3

but it probably should, shouldn't it?

img-proxy1:~# varnishstat -l 21|grep uptime
uptime   Child uptime

Happens both with trunk and 2.02.


Thanks and a good party tonight to everyone,

Sascha
