memkeys
This is like "top" but for memcached traffic. Real-world examples:
- Memcached incident in 2022, T310532#8004500
- Traffic audit in 2021, T264604#7175809
- Traffic audit in 2017, T74024
# from an appserver, see local requests to the "on-host tier" instance
mw0011$ sudo memkeys -i lo -p 11210
# from an appserver, see outgoing requests to the memcached cluster
mw0011$ sudo memkeys -i lo -p 11213
# from a memcached server, see all incoming requests to that server
mc0032$ sudo memkeys -i eth0
mc0046$ sudo memkeys -i ens2f0np0
Example output:
# memcached key calls objsize req/sec
