Memcached Configuration
Memcached Configuration
Memcached exposes its main server configuration and a dedicated directory for application private keys through the platform configuration file manager. These files can be edited or uploaded directly from the dashboard.
CONF
Main Memcached configuration file:
/etc/sysconfig/memcached
KEYS
Private-key storage directory:
/var/lib/jelastic/keys

Available Configuration Files
The Memcached node exposes the following configuration locations in the platform file manager:
Folder: conf
File:
Path:
memcachedPath:
/etc/sysconfig
Folder: keys
Path:
/var/lib/jelastic/keys
CONF — Memcached Configuration
The main Memcached configuration file is available inside the conf folder. Use this file to manage the server settings exposed by the platform.
The underlying file represented by the memcached item is located at
/etc/sysconfig/memcached.
Configuration changes: Edit only parameters you understand and validate the Memcached service after making changes. Incorrect values can prevent the cache service from starting or accepting application connections.
KEYS — Private Key Storage
The keys directory is intended for private-key files required by your application or integration.
- Generate the required private key.
- Save it as a regular file.
- Upload the file into the keys folder using the configuration file manager.
- Reference the uploaded key by its filesystem path from your application or configuration.
The key path uses the following format:
/var/lib/jelastic/keys/{key_file_name}
Key security: Treat uploaded private keys as sensitive credentials. Restrict access, do not expose key contents in application logs or public repositories, and reference them only from trusted application configuration.
For information about how Memcached is deployed and used as a distributed caching layer, refer to the Memcached System documentation.
