Memcached plugin

Overview

Configuration parameters allow customizing the Memcached plugin behavior.

It is recommended to specify them in their own configuration file (e.g. memcached.conf), rather than in the agent 2 configuration file. Then use the Include directive to include this file in the Zabbix agent 2 configuration.

All parameters are optional, unless explicitly stated that the parameter is mandatory.
