Modifying Configuration Parameters of an Instance

Procedure

1. Log in to the management console, and choose Application > Distributed Cache Service in the service list.
2. Click in the upper left corner of the console and select the region where your instance is located.
3. In the navigation pane, choose Cache Manager.
4. On the Cache Manager page, click the name of the DCS instance you want to configure.
5. On the instance details page, choose Instance Configuration > Parameters.
6. Click Modify.
7. Modify parameters based on your requirements.

   The parameters are described in Table 1. In most cases, you can retain default values.

   Table 1 DCS Redis instance configuration parameters

   Parameter	Description	Value Range	Default Value
   timeout	The maximum amount of time (in seconds) a connection between a client and the DCS instance can be allowed to remain idle before the connection is terminated. A setting of 0 means that this function is disabled. Proxy Cluster instances do not have this parameter.	0–7200 seconds	0
   appendfsync	Controls how often fsync() transfers cached data to the disk. Note that some OSs will perform a complete data transfer but some others only make a "best-effort" attempt. Single-node instances do not have this parameter. There are three settings: no: fsync() is never called. The OS will flush data when it is ready. This mode offers the highest performance. always: fsync() is called after every write to the AOF. This mode is very slow, but also very safe. everysec: fsync() is called once per second. This mode provides a compromise between safety and performance.	no always everysec	no
   appendonly	Indicates whether to log each modification of the instance. By default, data is written to disks asynchronously in Redis. If this function is disabled, recently-generated data might be lost in the event of a power failure. Single-node instances do not have this parameter. Options: yes: Logs are enabled, that is, persistence is enabled. no: Logs are disabled, that is, persistence is disabled.	yes no	yes
   client-output-buffer-limit-slave-soft-seconds	Number of seconds that the output buffer remains above client-output-buffer-slave-soft-limit before the client is disconnected.	0–60	60
   client-output-buffer-slave-hard-limit	Hard limit (in bytes) on the output buffer of replica clients. Once the output buffer exceeds the hard limit, the client is immediately disconnected.	0–17,179,869,184	1,717,986,918
   client-output-buffer-slave-soft-limit	Soft limit (in bytes) on the output buffer of replica clients. Once the output buffer exceeds the soft limit and continuously remains above the limit for the time specified by the client-output-buffer-limit-slave-soft-seconds parameter, the client is disconnected.	0–17,179,869,184	1,717,986,918
   maxmemory-policy	The policy applied when the maxmemory limit is reached. Options: volatile-lru: Evict keys by trying to remove the less recently used (LRU) keys first, but only among keys that have an expire set. allkeys-lru: Evict keys by trying to remove the LRU keys first. volatile-random: Evict keys randomly, but only among keys that have an expire set. allkeys-random: Evict keys randomly. volatile-ttl: Evict keys with an expire set, and try to evict keys with a shorter time to live (TTL) first. noeviction: Do not delete any keys and only return errors when the memory limit was reached. volatile-lfu: Evict keys by trying to remove the less frequently used (LFU) keys first, but only among keys that have an expire set. allkeys-lfu: Evict keys by trying to remove the LFU keys first. For details about eviction policies, see the Redis official website.	volatile-lru allkeys-lru volatile-random allkeys-random volatile-ttl noeviction volatile-lfu allkeys-lfu	volatile-lru
   lua-time-limit	Maximum time allowed for executing a Lua script (in milliseconds).	100–5000	5000
   master-read-only	Sets the instance to be read-only. All write operations will fail. Proxy Cluster instances do not have this parameter.	yes no	no
   maxclients	The maximum number of clients allowed to be concurrently connected to a DCS instance. This parameter specifies the maximum number of connections on a single node (single shard). Cluster: Maximum connections limit per node = Maximum connections limit of the instance/Shard quantity Single-node, master/standby, and read/write splitting: Maximum connections limit on a single node = Maximum connections limit of the instance	1000–50,000	10,000
   proto-max-bulk-len	Maximum size of a single element request (in bytes).	1,048,576–536,870,912	536,870,912
   repl-backlog-size	The replication backlog size (bytes). The backlog is a buffer that accumulates replica data when replicas are disconnected from the master. When a replica reconnects, a partial synchronization is performed to synchronize the data that was missed while replicas were disconnected.	16,384–1,073,741,824	1,048,576
   repl-backlog-ttl	The amount of time, in seconds, before the backlog buffer is released, starting from the last a replica was disconnected. The value 0 indicates that the backlog is never released.	0–604,800	3600
   repl-timeout	Replication timeout (in seconds).	30–3600	60
   hash-max-ziplist-entries	The maximum number of hashes that can be encoded using ziplist, a data structure optimized to reduce memory use.	1–10,000	512
   hash-max-ziplist-value	The largest value allowed for a hash encoded using ziplist, a special data structure optimized for memory use.	1–10,000	64
   set-max-intset-entries	When a set is composed entirely of strings and number of integer elements is less than this parameter value, the set is encoded using intset, a data structure optimized for memory use.	1–10,000	512
   zset-max-ziplist-entries	The maximum number of sorted sets that can be encoded using ziplist, a data structure optimized to reduce memory use.	1–10,000	128
   zset-max-ziplist-value	The largest value allowed for a sorted set encoded using ziplist, a special data structure optimized for memory use.	1–10,000	64
   latency-monitor-threshold	The minimum amount of latency that will be logged as latency spikes Set to 0: Latency monitoring is disabled. Set to more than 0: All with at least this many ms of latency will be logged. By running the LATENCY command, you can perform operations related to latency monitoring, such as obtaining statistical data, and configuring and enabling latency monitoring. Proxy Cluster instances do not have this parameter.	0–86,400,000 ms	0
   notify-keyspace-events	Controls which keyspace events notifications are enabled for. If this parameter is configured, the Redis Pub/Sub feature will allow clients to receive an event notification when a Redis data set is modified. Proxy Cluster instances do not have this parameter.	A combination of different values can be used to enable notifications for multiple event types. Possible values include: K: Keyspace events, published with the __keyspace@*__ prefix E: Keyevent events, published with __keyevent@*__ prefix g: Generic commands (non-type specific) such as DEL, EXPIRE, and RENAME $: String commands l: List commands s: Set commands h: Hash commands z: Sorted set commands x: Expired events (events generated every time a key expires) e: Evicted events (events generated when a key is evicted from maxmemory) For more information, see the following note.	Ex
   slowlog-log-slower-than	The maximum amount of time allowed, in microseconds, for command execution. If this threshold is exceeded, Redis slow query log will record the command.	0–1,000,000	10,000
   slowlog-max-len	The maximum allowed number of slow queries that can be logged. Slow query log consumes memory, but you can reclaim this memory by running the SLOWLOG RESET command.	0–1000	128
   auto-kill-timeout-lua-process	yes: enable no: disable When this parameter is enabled, lua scripts are killed when their execution times out. However, scripts with write operations are not killed, but their nodes automatically restart (if persistence has been enabled for the instance) without saving the write operations. Single-node instances do not have this parameter.	yes no	no

   

   1. For more information about the parameters described in Table 1, visit https://redis.io/topics/memory-optimization.
   2. The latency-monitor-threshold parameter is usually used for fault location. After locating faults based on the latency information collected, change the value of latency-monitor-threshold to 0 to avoid unnecessary latency.
   3. More about the notify-keyspace-events parameter:
      • The parameter setting must contain at least a K or E.
      • A is an alias for "g$lshzxe" and cannot be used together with any of the characters in "g$lshzxe".
      • For example, the value Kl means that Redis will notify Pub/Sub clients about keyspace events and list commands. The value AKE means Redis will notify Pub/Sub clients about all events.
   4. Configurable parameters and their values vary depending on the instance type.
