How to monitor memcached statistics on windows?

Question

What's the easiest method people have found to monitor memcached on Windows? One method I've tried, which works decently:

telnet into the memcached port (11211) and enter the "stats" command. You'll get back a listing like this:

stats
STAT pid 2816
STAT uptime 791
STAT time 1225918895
STAT version 1.2.1
STAT pointer_size 32
STAT curr_items 10
STAT total_items 10
STAT bytes 122931
STAT curr_connections 1
STAT total_connections 5
STAT connection_structures 4
STAT cmd_get 20
STAT cmd_set 10
STAT get_hits 0
STAT get_misses 20
STAT bytes_read 122986
STAT bytes_written 187
STAT limit_maxbytes 1073741824

Is there an easier way?

Answer 1

I've worked with memcached on windows and found this to be one of the main drawbacks. It's surprising better tools have not appeared but I guess it's a case of not asking for whom the bell tolls...

Answer 2

The PHP Memcached module also includes a script that will display the stats in summary, and also graph form, as well as being able to view individual cached items. If you are already using PHP & memcache on windows, it's an almost drop-in solution.
