This receiver can fetch stats from a Memcached instance using the stats command. A detailed description of all the stats available is at https://github.com/memcached/memcached/blob/master/doc/protocol.txt#L1159.

ℹ️ 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.

Details about the metrics produced by this receiver can be found in metadata.yaml with further documentation in documentation.md
