Memcache
The Memcache plugin will allow you to monitor a number of metrics on the Memcache and Memcached services of your server. Use it to monitor if your cached items were accessible, how often they are being accessed, the number of worker threads et If you can not find this plugin in the /usr/lib/panopta-agent/plugins folder, then your version of the Agent is out of date and you should update it to gain access to this feature.
Agent Configuration
In order for the Memcache plugin to be operational, you need to add the following snippet to /etc/fm-agent/fm_agent.cfg:
[memcache]
hostname = 127.0.0.1
port = 11211
Control Panel Configuration
To add a Memcache agent resource to your server, read Add FortiMonitor Agent checks if you have not already. To use the Memcache plugin, first select “Memcache” from the monitoring catalog.
