Proxy server memcache configuration

Proxy server memcache configuration

You can find memcache configuration file examples for the proxy server at etc/memcache.conf-sample in the source code repository.

The available configuration options are:

Description of configuration options for [memcache] in memcache.conf
Configuration option = Default value Description
connect_timeout = 0.3 Timeout in seconds (float) for connection.
io_timeout = 2.0 Timeout in seconds (float) for read and write.
memcache_max_connections = 2 Max number of connections to each memcached server per worker services.
memcache_serialization_support = 2 Sets how memcache values are serialized and deserialized.
memcache_servers = 127.0.0.1:11211 Comma-separated list of memcached servers ip:port services.
pool_timeout = 1.0 Timeout in seconds (float) for pooled connection.
tries = 3 Number of servers to retry on failures getting a pooled connection.

Sample proxy server configuration file

[memcache]
# You can use this single conf file instead of having memcache_servers set in
# several other conf files under [filter:cache] for example. You can specify
# multiple servers separated with commas, as in: 10.1.2.3:11211,10.1.2.4:11211
# (IPv6 addresses must follow rfc3986 section-3.2.2, i.e. [::1]:11211)
# memcache_servers = 127.0.0.1:11211
#
# Sets how memcache values are serialized and deserialized:
# 0 = older, insecure pickle serialization
# 1 = json serialization but pickles can still be read (still insecure)
# 2 = json serialization only (secure and the default)
# To avoid an instant full cache flush, existing installations should
# upgrade with 0, then set to 1 and reload, then after some time (24 hours)
# set to 2 and reload.
# In the future, the ability to use pickle serialization will be removed.
# memcache_serialization_support = 2
#
# Sets the maximum number of connections to each memcached server per worker
# memcache_max_connections = 2
#
# Timeout for connection
# connect_timeout = 0.3
# Timeout for pooled connection
# pool_timeout = 1.0
# number of servers to retry on failures getting a pooled connection
# tries = 3
# Timeout for read and writes
# io_timeout = 2.0
