Memcached is an in-memory key-value store for small chunks of arbitrary data (strings, objects) from results of database calls, API calls, or page rendering. As a result of its speed, scalability, simple design, efficient memory management and API support for most popular languages. Memcached is a popular choice for high-performance, large-scale caching use cases.
Compatibility
The Memcached Integration has been tested with 1.5 and 1.6 versions of Memcached. It is expected to work with all versions >= 1.5
Metrics
The below metrics are fetched from memcached:
Exported fields
| Field | Description | Type | Unit | Metric Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
@timestamp | Event timestamp. | date | ||
agent.id | Unique identifier of this agent (if one exists). Example: For Beats this would be beat.id. | keyword | ||
cloud.account.id | The cloud account or organization id used to identify different entities in a multi-tenant environment. Examples: AWS account id, Google Cloud ORG Id, or other unique identifier. | keyword | ||
cloud.availability_zone | Availability zone in which this host, resource, or service is located. | keyword | ||
cloud.instance.id | Instance ID of the host machine. | keyword | ||
cloud.provider | Name of the cloud provider. Example values are aws, azure, gcp, or digitalocean. | keyword | ||
cloud.region | Region in which this host, resource, or service is located. | keyword | ||
container.id | Unique container id. | keyword | ||
data_stream.dataset | Data stream dataset. | constant_keyword | ||
data_stream.namespace | Data stream namespace. | constant_keyword | ||
data_stream.type | Data stream type. | constant_keyword | ||
ecs.version | ECS version this event conforms to. ecs.version is a required field and must exist in all events. When querying across multiple indices -- which may conform to slightly different ECS versions -- this field lets integrations adjust to the schema version of the events. | keyword | ||
event.dataset | Event module | constant_keyword | ||
event.kind | Event kind | constant_keyword | ||
event.module | Event module | constant_keyword | ||
event.type | Event type | constant_keyword | ||
host.name | Name of the host. It can contain what hostname returns on Unix systems, the fully qualified domain name, or a name specified by the user. The sender decides which value to use. | keyword | ||
memcached.stats.cmd.get | Number of "get" commands received since server startup not counting if they were successful or not. | long | counter | |
memcached.stats.cmd.set | Number of "set" commands serviced since server startup. | long | counter | |
memcached.stats.connections.current | Number of open connections to this Memcached server, should be the same value on all servers during normal operation. | long | counter | |
memcached.stats.connections.total | Numer of successful connection attempts to this server since it has been started. | long | counter | |
memcached.stats.current.bytes | Number of bytes currently used for caching items. | long | byte | gauge |
memcached.stats.evictions | Number of objects removed from the cache to free up memory for new items when Memcached reaches it's maximum memory setting (limit_maxbytes). | long | counter | |
memcached.stats.get.hits | Cache HitRate: Its the ratio of number of successful "get" commands (cache hits) since startup and the "cmd_get" value. | long | gauge | |
memcached.stats.get.misses | Number of failed "get" requests as nothing was cached for this key or the cached value was too old. | long | counter | |
memcached.stats.items.current | Number of items currently in this server's cache. | long | gauge | |
memcached.stats.items.total | Number of items ever stored on the server. The count increases by every new item stored in the cache. | long | counter | |
memcached.stats.limit.bytes | Number of bytes the server is allowed to use for storage. | long | byte | gauge |
memcached.stats.pid | Current process ID of the Memcached task. | long | ||
memcached.stats.read.bytes | Total number of bytes received by the server from the network. | long | byte | counter |
memcached.stats.threads | Number of threads used by the current Memcached server process. | long | counter | |
memcached.stats.uptime.sec | Memcached server uptime. | long | s | gauge |
memcached.stats.written.bytes | Total number of bytes sent to the network by the server. | long | byte | counter |
service.address | Address where data about this service was collected from. This should be a URI, network address (ipv4:port or [ipv6]:port) or a resource path (sockets). | keyword | ||
service.type | The type of the service data is collected from. The type can be used to group and correlate logs and metrics from one service type. Example: If logs or metrics are collected from Elasticsearch, service.type would be elasticsearch. | keyword | ||
tags | List of keywords used to tag each event. | keyword |
An example event for stats looks as following:
