Capture Memcache traffic
editCapture Memcache traffic
editThe memcache
section of the packetbeat.yml
config file specifies configuration options for the memcache
protocol. Here is a sample configuration section for memcache:
packetbeat.protocols: - type: memcache ports: [11211] parseunknown: false maxvalues: 0 maxbytespervalue: 100 transaction_timeout: 200 udptransactiontimeout: 200
Configuration options
editAlso see Common protocol options.
parseunknown
editWhen this option is enabled, it forces the memcache text protocol parser to accept unknown commands.
The unknown commands MUST NOT contain a data part.
maxvalues
editThe maximum number of values to store in the message (multi-get). All values will be base64 encoded.
The possible settings for this option are:
-
maxvalue: -1
, which stores all values (text based protocol multi-get) -
maxvalue: 0
, which stores no values (default) -
maxvalue: N
, which stores up to N values
maxbytespervalue
editThe maximum number of bytes to be copied for each value element.
Values will be base64 encoded, so the actual size in the JSON document will be 4 times the value that
you specify for maxbytespervalue
.
udptransactiontimeout
editThe transaction timeout in milliseconds. The defaults is 10000 milliseconds.
Quiet messages in UDP binary protocol get responses only if there is an error.
The memcache protocol analyzer will wait for the number of milliseconds specified by
udptransactiontimeout
before publishing quiet messages. Non-quiet messages or
quiet requests with an error response are published immediately.
