###Class: varnish::log

###Class: varnish::ncsa

###Resource: varnish_param

This resource is a native type and a series of Augeas-based providers.

It allows to modify varnish parameters where OSes put them by default:

  • in /etc/default/varnish for Debian wheezy (as a list of parameters)
  • in /etc/systemd/system/varnish.service for Debian jessie (as a list of parameters)
  • in /etc/sysconfig/varnish for RedHat 6 (as standalone variables)
  • in /etc/varnish/varnish.params for RedHat 7 (as standalone variables)

Example:

varnish_param { 'listen_address':
  ensure => present,
  value   => 'localhost',
}

Notes

  • Version 1.x supported only multi-instances configuration. As we never use this use case, we decided to switch to a single instance configuration.
  • Version 1.99.x adds support for single instance configuration but still defaults to multi-instances configuration.
  • Version 2.x will default to single instance configuration and deprecate multi-instances configuration.
  • Version 3.x will remove multi-instances configuration support.
