Monitor memcache using cacti

Article Title: Use cacti to monitor memcache. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

After we deploy memcache, it does not mean that we should monitor the memcahce status, memory usage, and the value of hit/miss, with cacti, we can monitor the various memcache parameters. Next we will learn how to use cacti to monitor our memcache!

First, we can learn how to add cacti and memcache monitoring from the official website! The address is as follows:

Http://dealnews.com/developers/cacti/memcached.html

Let's talk about the procedure in detail!

1. Python Client API Installation

Download Python Client API (download on cacti server)

Wget ftp://ftp.tummy.com/pub/python-memcached/python-memcached-1.45.tar.gz

Tar xzvf python-memcached-1.45.tar.gz

Python setup. py install

The following error occurs when I run the preceding command:

Traceback (most recent call last ):

File "setup. py", line 3, in?

From setuptools import setup

ImportError: No module named setuptools

Solution: yum-y install python-setuptools

After successful installation, you can install python setup. py install again.

2. Template Installation

Wget http://content.dealnews.com/dealnews/developers/cacti-memcached-1.0.tar.gz

Tar zxvf cacti-memcached-1.0.tar.gz

Cd cacti-memcached

Copy memcached. py to the Cacti scripts directory!

3. Set cacti

Go to the Cacti control page and click

Import Templates --> Import Template from Local File

In the browser, select the cacti_memcached_host_template.xml file and click save!

The rest is about adding new images.

4. The above settings are only for the default port 11211, but when your port is not 11211, but other ports, for example, my port is 12000, in this case, you need to make a small change to your cacti data source. The operation is as follows:

Console --- Data Input Methods -- Memcached? Statistics

Find the Input String value python /Scripts/memcached. py

Change to: python /Scripts/memcached. py? P 12000

If you use another port, you only need to change it to another value!
