Actual memory used

[BUSTARRET, Jean-francois]

This is still the case.

AFAIK, the only way to monitor memory usage is to track the new "cache evictions" stat (SVN only - http://code.sixapart.com/trac/memcached/changeset/476).
"Cache evictions" mesure the number of valid entries that are kicked of the LRU when adding new ones.

Objet : Actual memory used

I hope that someone here can help. I've been looking at the stats that come out of memcache as I want to know (and be warned before) our memcache servers fill up with data.

I read* that memcache only cleans up memory when a key expires or when it runs out of space. But that post was from nearly 2 years ago. Is this still the case? Is there any way of knowing exactly how full a memcache server is with only non-expired data?

Thanks in advance.
