Linux – How to find max connections used by memcached

linuxmemcached

In our LAMP application we have increased the max connection value for memcached to very high to avoid error for max connection we were having. Now we want to set appropriate value to max connections for memcached. Is there a way to find the maximum connections used by memcached during the period it has been working?

I know how to find connections used by memcached at a given moment.

One way is to install memcache-top which will give you number of connections as well as a wealth of other information for your memcache instances.

Nginx – How well do nginx and memcached work together

You really should use a cache server in front of your web servers. I recommend Varnish-cache. We use it at work with the largest and busiest website in scandinavia. We replaced 13 highly loaded Squid boxes with 1 Varnish box, and 1 for spare.

I benchmarked a simple app on my private website, and it went from 9 requests a sec to over 2000.

You decide how long it keeps things in memory, you can do a till the end of time and then just send a http purge request to the cache server when the data changes.

Linux Bash – How to Sort du -h Output by Size

As of GNU coreutils 7.5 released in August 2009, sort allows a -h parameter, which allows numeric suffixes of the kind produced by du -h:

du -hs * | sort -h

If you are using a sort that does not support -h, you can install GNU Coreutils. E.g. on an older Mac OS X:

brew install coreutils
du -hs * | gsort -h

From sort manual:

-h, --human-numeric-sort compare human readable numbers (e.g., 2K 1G)
