Amazon ElastiCache makes it easy to set up, manage, and scale distributed in-memory cache environments in the AWS Cloud.
Features include:
- High performance, resizable, and cost-effective in-memory cache.
- Reduced complexity associated with deploying and managing a distributed cache environment.
- Works with Redis and Memcached engines.
Use the AWS public cloud integration to discover and collect metrics against the AWS service.

Supported metrics
| OpsRamp Metric | Metric Display Name | Unit | Aggregation Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| aws_elasticache_CPUUtilization Percentage of allocated EC2 compute units that are currently in use on the instance. This metric identifies the processing power required to run an application On a selected instance. | CPU utilization | Percent | Maximum |
| aws_elasticache_FreeableMemory Amount of available random access memory. | FreeableMemory | Freeable Memory | Average |
| aws_elasticache_SwapUsage Amount of swap space used on the DB Instance. | SwapUsage | Swap Usage | Average |
| aws_elasticache_GetMisses Number of get requests the cache has received where the key requested was not found. | GetMisses | Count | Average |
| aws_elasticache_CmdSet Number of set commands the cache has received. | CmdSet | Count | Average |
| aws_elasticache_NewConnections Number of new connections the cache has received. This is derived from the memcached total_connections statistic by recording the change in total_connections across a period of time. Note: Due to a connection reserved for Elastic Cache, a minimum of 1 is always returned. | NewConnections | Count | Average |
| aws_elasticache_Reclaimed Number of expired items the cache evicted to allow space for new writes. | Reclaimed | Count | Average |
| aws_elasticache_IncrHits Number of increment requests the cache has received where the key requested was found. | IncrHits | Count | Average |
| aws_elasticache_CurrConnections Count of the number of connections connected to the cache at an instant in time. Note: Due to the design of Memcached, a minimum count of 10 is always returned. | CurrConnections | Count | Average |
| aws_elasticache_CmdFlush Number of flush commands the cache has received. | CmdFlush | Count | Average |
| aws_elasticache_DecrHits Number of decrement requests the cache has received where the requested key was found. | DecrHits | Count | Average |
| aws_elasticache_UnusedMemory Amount of unused memory the cache can use to store items. | UnusedMemory | Unused Memory | Average |
| aws_elasticache_DeleteMisses Number of delete requests the cache has received where the requested key was not found. | DeleteMisses | Count | Average |
| aws_elasticache_NewItems Number of new items the cache has stored. | NewItems | Count | Average |
| aws_elasticache_CurrItems Count of the number of items currently stored in the cache. | CurrItems | Count | Average |
| aws_elasticache_Evictions Number of non-expired items the cache evicted to allow space for new writes. | Evictions | Count | Average |
| aws_elasticache_CasMisses Number of Cas requests the cache has received where the key requested was not found. | CasMisses | Count | Average |
| aws_elasticache_CmdGet Number of get commands the cache has received. | CmdGet | Count | Average |
| aws_elasticache_IncrMisses Number of increment requests the cache has received where the key requested was not found. | IncrMisses | Count | Average |
| aws_elasticache_DeleteHits Number of delete requests the cache has received where the requested key was found. | DeleteHits | Count | Average |
| aws_elasticache_GetHits Number of get requests the cache has received where the key requested was found. | GetHits | Count | Average |
| aws_elasticache_CasBadval Number of CAS (check and set) requests the cache has received where the Cas value did not match the Cas value stored. | CasBadval | Count | Average |
| aws_elasticache_DecrMisses Number of decrement requests the cache has received where the requested key was not found. | DecrMisses | Count | Average |
| aws_elasticache_BytesReadIntoMemcached Number of bytes read from the network by the cache node. | BytesReadIntoMemcached | Bytes Read | Average |
| aws_elasticache_BytesWrittenOutFromMemcached Number of bytes written to the network by the cache node. | BytesWrittenOutFromMemcached | Bytes Written | Average |
| aws_elasticache_BytesUsedForCacheItems Number of bytes written to the network by the cache node. | BytesUsedForCacheItems | Bytes Used | Average |
| aws_elasticache_NetworkBytesOut Number of bytes the host has written to the network. | NetworkBytesOut | Bytes | Average |
| aws_elasticache_NetworkBytesIn Number of bytes the host has read from the network. | NetworkBytesIn | Bytes | Average |
