Varnish HIT/MISS Web Statistics Question

Hi Devin,

The easiest method would be to use external analytics services for your
site(s), such as Google Analytics. However, if you do not wish to use
external services then I suggest using something like splitlogs, and having
both Apache and varnishncsa cache hits piped to it, which in return will
output all requests to your access logs as expected. If you're in a cPanel
environment, I wrote a script that runs as a daemon, and that does just
that - https://github.com/AndreiG6/vscp
