Updates to memcached, nginx monitoring
Colin Surprenant did some quality GitHub forking today, enhancing the monitoring for memcached and nginx.
The memcached stats plugin reports the following data:
- Current connections
- Current data MB
- Evictions
- Get count
- Get hits
- Get misses
- Max data MB
- Set count
- Total items
...and alerts you if the plugin can’t connect to memcached.
The nginx status plugin reports the following data:
- Reading
- Requests
- Requests per/second
- Total
- Waiting
- Writing
Thanks to Mike Mangino and Luc Castera for their original work on the memcached and ngix plugins, respectively.
And just how did Colin, Mike, and Luc magically add this functionality to Scout? It’s easy – see our guide.
