Hi,

I don't think you can do that.

Client request logs will include Timestamp:WaitingList when that
happens. The timestamp isn't there if the request didn't have to wait,
and if it is, the timestamp tells you how long.

If your goal is to gather information about request coalescing, you cn
get it by scanning the log. If you need to know about it at runtime for
further request processing, then no I don't think there's anything for
that in VCL.
