+# Memcached monitoring with Netdata
+
+Collects memory-caching system performance metrics. It reads server response to stats command ([stats interface](https://github.com/memcached/memcached/wiki/Commands#stats)).
+
+
+1.  **Network** in kilobytes/s
+
+    -   read
+    -   written
+
+2.  **Connections** per second
+
+    -   current
+    -   rejected
+    -   total
+
+3.  **Items** in cluster
+
+    -   current
+    -   total
+
+4.  **Evicted and Reclaimed** items
+
+    -   evicted
+    -   reclaimed
+
+5.  **GET** requests/s
+
+    -   hits
+    -   misses
+
+6.  **GET rate** rate in requests/s
+
+    -   rate
+
+7.  **SET rate** rate in requests/s
+
+    -   rate
+
+8.  **DELETE** requests/s
+
+    -   hits
+    -   misses
+
+9.  **CAS** requests/s
+
+    -   hits
+    -   misses
+    -   bad value
+
+10. **Increment** requests/s
+
+    -   hits
+    -   misses
+
+11. **Decrement** requests/s
+
+    -   hits
+    -   misses
+
+12. **Touch** requests/s
+
+    -   hits
+    -   misses
+
+13. **Touch rate** rate in requests/s
+
+    -   rate
+
+## Configuration
+
+Edit the `python.d/memcached.conf` configuration file using `edit-config` from the Netdata [config
+directory](/docs/configure/nodes.md), which is typically at `/etc/netdata`.
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata   # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
+sudo ./edit-config python.d/memcached.conf
+```
+
+Sample:
+
+```yaml
+localtcpip:
+  name     : 'local'
+  host     : '127.0.0.1'
+  port     : 24242
+```
+
+If no configuration is given, module will attempt to connect to memcached instance on `127.0.0.1:11211` address.
