Memcached | How Do We Know It’s Working?

  • Good Day,

    Your plugin does not provide any metrics indicating that Memcached is working for our website.

    These are the stats or metrics we’d like to see added to your plugin:

    Connection (IP Address, Port)
    Cache Hit Ratio (Value)
    Uptime (Value)
    Memory Allocation (Value)

    (Note: Server commands can be useful, but that’s not what we asking for.)

    Thank you!

    Hello @generosus,

    The Memcached service, which is part of our plugin spawns a new Memcached process for your account which will be owned by your Site Tools user. The service is rather straightforward and I think this is one of the reasons why there is no additional information available:

    Connection (IP Address, Port) – We use the default setup for the service which is listed under the User Area (IP address: 127.0.0.1, Port: 11211)

    Cache Hit Ratio: As long as the cached object exist in the memory utilized by the service the cache ratio is 100%.

    Uptime: The service is connected to a stand-alone process that is associated with the account itself. As long as the account is active and the service is running the uptime will be 100%.

    Memory Allocation: The current setup that we use allocates 64MB’s of memory for the storage and operation of the service. As long as you do not generate queries that result in output greater than the mentioned value they will be stored in the allocated memory.

    Nevertheless, I will pass the inquiry to our developers for further review and ask if those stats can be integrated as part of the plugin.

    Best Regards,

    Hi @k3llanved,

    Thanks for the quick reply and input. Based on your information, it makes perfect sense to update SGO to display the above metrics. Displaying the metrics should corroborate (or not) what you stated. We won’t know until SGO is updated.

    On another note, many other well-known Memcached (Object Cache) plugins already display the noted metrics in the backend.

    We’ll wait to see what your SGO developers come back with. The update — if and when implemented — will be beneficial to many. Currently, we feel like we’re driving a car at an unknown speed and with no dashboard gages.

    Thank you!
