About:
MemcacheTop is a command-line utility designed to monitor Memcached server performance in real-time. It connects to one or more Memcached instances and displays key statistics like hit rates, memory usage, and connection counts in a top-like interface. This tool helps administrators quickly diagnose performance bottlenecks and optimize caching strategies without complex setups.

Key Features:

Real-time top-like interface for Memcached monitoring
Support for multiple server connections simultaneously
Displays hit rates, memory usage, and evictions
Low-overhead command-line tool

Use Cases:

Monitoring live Memcached performance during high traffic
Diagnosing cache hit rate issues in production
Capacity planning for Memcached clusters

Alternatives:

memcached-tool – Built-in Perl tool with similar stats but less interactive interface
Prometheus + Grafana – More comprehensive monitoring but requires setup and external services
