This is a Zabbix 2.4.6 template + discovery & sender script useful to monitor Varnish Cache >= 4.0 instances:

1. Copy zabbix-varnish-cache.py to /usr/local/bin/.

2. If using Varnish Cache >= 4.1, add zabbix user to the varnish group:

   $ sudo usermod -a --groups varnish zabbix
   

3. Add the varnish.discovery user parameter to Zabbix:

   UserParameter=varnish.discovery[*],/usr/local/bin/zabbix-varnish-cache.py -n '$1' discover $2
   

4. Add a new job to the zabbix user crontab (beware of the -n and -s options). This will submit Varnish Cache metrics through Zabbix Sender:

   * * * * * /usr/local/bin/zabbix-varnish-cache.py send -c /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf -s dev > /dev/null 2>&1
   

5. Import the Varnish Cache template (template-app-varnish.xml file).

6. Add an existing / new host to the Varnish Cache servers group and link it to the Template App Varnish Cache template. Beware of the {$VARNISH_NAME} macro, useful to monitor servers running more than one Varnish Cache instance. Leave it blank if running a single Varnish Cache instance per server.
