Configuration
ℹ This receiver is in beta and configuration fields are subject to change.
The following settings are required:
endpoint
(default: localhost:11211
): The hostname/IP address and port or, unix socket file path of the memcached instance
The following settings are optional:
collection_interval
(default = 10s
): This receiver runs on an interval.
Each time it runs, it queries memcached, creates metrics, and sends them to the
next consumer. The collection_interval
configuration option tells this
receiver the duration between runs. This value must be a string readable by
Golang's ParseDuration
function (example: 1h30m
). Valid time units are
ns
, us
(or µs
), ms
, s
, m
, h
.
initial_delay
(default = 1s
): defines how long this receiver waits before starting.
Example:
receivers:
memcached:
endpoint: "localhost:11211"
collection_interval: 10s
The full list of settings exposed for this receiver are documented here
with detailed sample configurations here.
