Question about the "Test Server" Feature
Hey all,
I am using the development kits well as some server instances (total of 3 Membase servers) and was just curious of this "Test Server" feature on the main site in my application.
I have my own socket-based connection that is connected to one of the memcached cores (port 11211) in this cluster and is polling the STAT command. What's funny is that your Analytics page is reporting statistics on various metrics; the ones I'm concerned with are Total Items, Gets per second and Sets per second. While the graphs look nice and I really like the "Test Server" feature to get an idea of the graphs, I'm wondering why my socket connection that is echoing out results from the memcached STAT command are reporting 0 for get_hits, curr_items, get_misses. Is there something I'm missing?
Product looks great all around!

Tim, the "Test Server" feature uses a different bucket to generate load than the default bucket. When you are running the 'stats' command against the server, it is returning stats for the default bucket and so you won't see any of the traffic that the test is generating.
In order to access these stats, you'll have to use a client that supports SASL in order to authenticate to a different bucket.
Without a SASL enabled client, you can still use the server, but you're limited to just the default bucket.
Hope that helps, let me know if you need anything else.
