5.0 quality score

We run a couple of automated
scans to help you access a
module's quality. Each module is
given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

Please note, the information below
is for guidance only and neither of
these methods should be considered
an endorsement by Puppet.

Supported Puppet versions

  • Puppet >= 4
  • Last version supporting Puppet 3: v3.0.2

How to use

Starting with version 3.0.0, memcached will be listening on 127.0.0.1 only.
This should make setups more secure (e.g. if there are no firewall rules in place).

To change this behavior, you need to set listen_ip to '0.0.0.0'.

Use roughly 90% of memory

    class { 'memcached': }

Set a fixed memory limit in MB

    class { 'memcached':
      max_memory => 2048
    }

Use 12% of available memory

    class { 'memcached':
      max_memory => '12%'
    }

Other class parameters

  • $package_ensure = 'present'
  • $logfile = '/var/log/memcached.log'
  • $pidfile = '/var/run/memcached.pid' (Debian family only, set to false to disable pidfile)
  • $max_memory = false
  • $max_item_size = false
  • $min_item_size = false
  • $factor = false
  • $lock_memory = false (WARNING: good if used intelligently, google for -k key)
  • $listen_ip = '127.0.0.1'
  • $tcp_port = 11211
  • $udp_port = 11211
  • $manage_firewall = false
  • $user = '' (OS specific setting, see params.pp)
  • $max_connections = 8192
  • $verbosity = undef
  • $unix_socket = undef
  • $install_dev = false (TRUE if 'libmemcached-dev' package should be installed)
  • $processorcount = $::processorcount
  • $service_restart = true (restart service after configuration changes, false to prevent restarts)
  • $use_sasl = false (start memcached with SASL support)
  • $large_mem_pages = false (try to use large memory pages)
