# 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. --- [](<>)
