What This Dashboard Monitors
This dashboard tracks essential Memcached metrics to help you:
- Monitor Cache Operations: Track command execution patterns and cache performance
- Analyze Memory Usage: Monitor memory consumption and server size trends
- Track Connection Health: Monitor client connections and connection patterns
- Monitor Resource Utilization: Track thread usage and system resources
- Optimize Cache Performance: Identify bottlenecks and optimize cache efficiency
- Cache Management: Monitor evictions and item management
Metrics Included
Performance Metrics
- Commands: Shows command execution rate grouped by command type (set, get, flush, touch) over time
- Current Items: Shows current number of items stored in memcached over time
- Evictions: Shows cache eviction rate over time
Memory Metrics
- Memcache Server Size (History): Shows historical memory usage of memcached server over time
- Memcache Server (Current Size): Shows current memory usage of memcached server
Connection Metrics
- Current Connections: Shows current number of active client connections
- Total & Current Connections: Shows both total connection rate and current active connections over time
Resource Metrics
- Threads Count: Shows number of worker threads over time
