How important is it to you to not lose any data (is it ok > to send stats around via UDP)? I had the same concern about slowing down responses, so it would have to be very lightweight. Maybe UDP as you said or putting something into a queue. I want to track total hit counts of image urls to track their popularity. A single value per url is good enough and it can be pretty far from real time. Almost all of them are cached in varnish so varnish is the only thing that knows that they have been requested. _______________________________________________ varnish-misc mailing list [email protected] https://www.varnish-cache.org/lists/mailman/listinfo/varnish-misc _______________________________________________ varnish-misc mailing list [email protected] https://www.varnish-cache.org/lists/mailman/listinfo/varnish-misc
