Caution
Grafana Alloy is the new name for our distribution of the OTel collector. Grafana Agent has been deprecated and is in Long-Term Support (LTS) through October 31, 2025. Grafana Agent will reach an End-of-Life (EOL) on November 1, 2025. Read more about why we recommend migrating to Grafana Alloy.
Important: This documentation is about an older version. It's relevant only to the release noted, many of the features and functions have been updated or replaced. Please view the current version.

memcached_exporter_config
The memcached_exporter_config
block configures the memcached_exporter
integration, which is an embedded version of
memcached_exporter
. This
allows for the collection of metrics from memcached servers.
Note that currently, an Agent can only collect metrics from a single memcached
server. If you want to collect metrics from multiple servers, you can run
multiple Agents and add labels using relabel_configs
to differentiate between
the servers:
yaml
memcached_exporter:
enabled: true
memcached_address: memcached-a:53
relabel_configs:
- source_labels: [__address__]
target_label: instance
replacement: memcached-a
Full reference of options:
yaml
# Enables the memcached_exporter integration, allowing the Agent to automatically
# collect system metrics from the configured memcached server address
[enabled: <boolean> | default = false]
# Sets an explicit value for the instance label when the integration is
# self-scraped. Overrides inferred values.
#
# The default value for this integration is inferred from
# memcached_address.
[instance: <string>]
# Automatically collect metrics from this integration. If disabled,
# the memcached_exporter integration will be run but not scraped and thus not
# remote-written. Metrics for the integration will be exposed at
# /integrations/memcached_exporter/metrics and can be scraped by an external
# process.
[scrape_integration: <boolean> | default = <integrations_config.scrape_integrations>]
# How often should the metrics be collected? Defaults to
# prometheus.global.scrape_interval.
[scrape_interval: <duration> | default = <global_config.scrape_interval>]
# The timeout before considering the scrape a failure. Defaults to
# prometheus.global.scrape_timeout.
[scrape_timeout: <duration> | default = <global_config.scrape_timeout>]
# Allows for relabeling labels on the target.
relabel_configs:
[- <relabel_config> ... ]
# Relabel metrics coming from the integration, allowing to drop series
# from the integration that you don't care about.
metric_relabel_configs:
[ - <relabel_config> ... ]
# How frequent to truncate the WAL for this integration.
[wal_truncate_frequency: <duration> | default = "60m"]
#
# Exporter-specific configuration options
#
# Address of the memcached server in host:port form.
[memcached_address: <string> | default = "localhost:53"]
# Timeout for connecting to memcached.
[timeout: <duration> | default = "1s"]
