pmdamemcache - memcached performance metrics domain agent (PMDA)

       This  PMDA extracts performance data from memcached, a distributed memory caching daemon commonly used to
       improve web serving performance.  A farm of memcached processes over multiple servers can be utilised  by
       a  single  web application, increasing the total available object cache size, and decreasing the database
       load   associated   with   smaller   cache   sizes.    This   system   is   described   in   detail    at
       http://www.danga.com/memcached.

$PCP_PMDAS_DIR/memcache/memcache.conf
           optional configuration file listing monitored memcache instances

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/memcache/Install
           installation script for the pmdamemcache agent

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/memcache/Remove
           undo installation script for the pmdamemcache agent

       $PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd/memcache.log
           default log file for error messages from pmdamemcache

       Configure  pmdamemcache  to  extract the values from set of hosts used in the memcache farm.  These hosts
       can be listed in the  $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/memcache/memcache.conf  file,  in  the  format  (i.e.   Perl  array)
       described  at  the  top  of  pmdamemcache.pl.   A  custom  refresh rate can also be configured using this
       mechanism.

            # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/memcache
            # [ edit memcache.conf ]

       Once this is setup, you can access the names and values for the memcache performance metrics by doing the
       following as root:

            # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/memcache
            # ./Install

       If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:

            # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/memcache
            # ./Remove

       pmdamemcache is launched by pmcd(1) and should never be executed directly. The Install and Remove scripts
       notify pmcd(1) when the agent is installed or removed.

       Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize the file and directory names used  by
       PCP.  On  each  installation,  the file /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values for these variables.  The
       $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative configuration file, as described in pcp.conf(5).
