Memcached Response Time

[Paolo Martinelli]

Hi all,

I have just deployed monit across different server in my farm.
We have multiple installation of memcached and all of them are kept monitored with a script like this:

check host memcache_host with address x.x.x.x
    if failed port y and protocol memcache then alert

The "strange" thing that I see is that the response time from any memcached instance is always 5 seconds.

Do you know if there is any specific reason for this behavior?

Many thanks,

Paolo
