Varnish Cache offers several ways to log and most of the documentation is related to varnishlog which includes several information related to request, response and backend response. Now what’s happen if we need to log our own variables or message to a file?
The key function is std.syslog enabled via std (standard) Varnish module, which is the only built-in “vmod” and is thus natively available and doesn’t have to be compiled.
import std; then you can easily add into your VCL the following line:
std.syslog(180, "log description");
The first parameter, 180, is the priority value. If you want to add some variables to your log message:
std.syslog(180, "log description" + beresp.ttl);
This will logo the message to general system log, which is often, in a Linux system, is located in /var/log/messages.
In order to know Varnish Cache if is running and able to handle HTTP requests properly, without having the backends as part the equation please add the following VCL snippet makes sure that the URL /heart-beat always returns 200:
Varnish 4 equivalent:
sub vcl_recv {
if (req.method == "GET" && req.url == “/heart-beat") {
return(synth(200, "OK"));
}
}
Varnish 3 equivalent:
sub vcl_recv {
if (req.request == "GET" && req.url == "/heart-beat") {
error 200 "OK";
}
}
You may want to protect the URL by using ACLs if you don’t want to expose /heart-beat to the public.

vclFiddle, is a free online tool for experimenting with the Varnish Cache HTTP reverse-proxy in a sandboxed environment where you can reproduce a website caching scenario for testing, collaborative debugging, or just trying new ideas, with the least friction possible.
You can use it now at http://www.vclfiddle.net and it is open-sourced on GitHub too.
