  • Varnish 6.0.6
  • prometheus_varnish_exporter v1.5.2

Giving error:

Jun 17 11:45:01 varnish-a1 prometheus_varnish_exporter: Could not get hold of varnishd, is it running?
Jun 17 11:45:01 varnish-a1 prometheus_varnish_exporter: 2020/06/17 11:45:01 [ERROR] Startup test: varnishstat scrape failed: exit status 1

When varnish runs as vcache user (default in systemd) this error occurs. Hot fix is to run prometheus-varnish-exporter service as same user instead of prometheus

/lib/systemd/system/prometheus-varnish-exporter.service
...
User=vcache
....

If you run debian and use prometheus-varnish-exporter deb package, just add prometheus user to varnish group

usermod -G varnish -a prometheus

Resolve what user varnishd is running as. First column of the results. ps -ef | grep varnishd.

Added link to this issue to README, seems this is fairly frequent problem.
