[Feature Request] multiple varnish instance

[btbars]

Feature Request

hello,
please, allow us to configure multiple instances of varnish as it is possible for haproxy plugin
we should be able to add an instance name to the config file:

varnishstat -n /var/lib/varnish/static/ ( path to _.vsm )
by default we cannot change the default path ( /var/lib/varnish/$(uname -n )

thank you

Not sure I understand the request, but I believe you can do this by setting up multiple instances of [[inputs.varnish]]

[btbars]

on a console, if we have multiple instances, we should call
varnishstat -n /var/lib/varnish/instanceX/ ( path to _.vsm )
varnishstat -n /var/lib/varnish/InstanceY/ ( path to _.vsm )
....
but you cannot specified the instance ( -n ) for the varnishstats on the config file

[sparrc]

OK, so it's just a feature request to add the -n option to the varnish plugin?

[btbars]

yes

The documentation now reports this:

   # instance_name = instanceName

So i think this is already fixed and could be closed

Thanks @danielmotaleite, looks like it was added in Telegraf 1.5.0 (#3398)
