A memcached exporter for Prometheus.
The memcached exporter exports metrics from a memcached server for
consumption by Prometheus. The server is specified as --memcached.address flag
to the program (default is localhost:11211).
By default the memcache_exporter serves on port 0.0.0.0:9150 at /metrics:
make
./memcached_exporterAlternatively a Dockerfile is supplied:
docker run -p 9150:9150 quay.io/prometheus/memcached-exporter:latestThe exporter collects a number of statistics from the server:

There is also optional support to export metrics about the memcached process
itself by setting the --memcached.pid-file <path> flag. If the

The Memcached Exporter supports TLS and basic authentication.
To use TLS and/or basic authentication, you need to pass a configuration file
using the --web.config.file parameter. The format of the file is described
in the exporter-toolkit repository.
To use TLS for connections to memcached, use the --memcached.tls.* flags.
See memcached_exporter --help for details.
The exporter also supports the multi-target pattern on the /scrape endpoint. Example:
curl `localhost:9150/scrape?target=memcached-host.company.com:11211
An example configuration using prometheus-elasticache-sd:
scrape_configs:
- job_name: "memcached_exporter_targets"
file_sd_configs:
- files:
- /path/to/elasticache.json # File created by service discovery
metrics_path: /scrape
relabel_configs:
# Filter for memcached cache nodes
- source_labels: [__meta_elasticache_engine]
regex: memcached
action: keep
# Build Memcached URL to use as target parameter for the exporter
- source_labels:
- __meta_elasticache_endpoint_address
- __meta_elasticache_endpoint_port
replacement: $1
separator: ':'
target_label: __param_target
# Use Memcached URL as instance label
- source_labels: [__param_target]
target_label: instance
# Set exporter address
- target_label: __address__
replacement: memcached-exporter-service.company.com:9151If you are running solely for multi-target start the exporter with --memcached.address="" to avoid attempting to connect to a non existing memcached host, example:
./memcached-exporter --memcached.address=""
