Modifying a Custom Parameter Template

You can modify the name, description, and parameters of a custom parameter template based on service requirements.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the DCS console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner of the management console and select the region where your instance is located.
  3. In the navigation pane, choose Parameter Templates.
  4. Choose the Custom Templates tab.
  5. You can modify a custom parameter template in either of the following ways:

    • Click Edit in the Operation column.
      1. Change the name or modify the description of a template.
      2. In the Parameters area, select Modifiable parameters. In the row that contains the parameter to be modified, enter a value in the Assigned Value column. Table 1 describes the parameters. In most cases, default values are retained.
      3. Click OK.
    • Click the name of a custom template. On the displayed page, modify parameters.
      1. Select Modifiable parameters. Enter a keyword in the search box to search for a parameter by parameter name.
      2. Click Modify.
      3. In the row that contains the parameter to be modified, enter a value in the Assigned Value column. Table 1 describes the parameters. In most cases, default values are retained.
      4. Click Save.
    Table 1 DCS Redis instance configuration parameters

    Parameter

    Description

    Value Range

    Default Value

    active-expire-num

    Number of expired keys that can be deleted in regular scans.

    This parameter is not available for DCS Redis 3.0 and 6.0 professional edition instances.

    1–1000

    20

    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.

    only-replica: Enable persistence only on replica nodes.

    NOTE:

    By default, the appendonly parameter can only be set to yes or no. To set it to only-replica for a basic edition master/standby or cluster DCS Redis 4.0/5.0/6.0 instance, contact O&M personnel.

    • yes
    • no
    • only-replica

    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

    NOTE:

    If the DCS Redis instance is created before July 2020 and this parameter has not been modified, the default value is noeviction. If the instance is created after July 2020, the default value is 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

    Proxy Cluster instances do not have this parameter.

    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

    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

    If a set is composed entirely of strings that are integers in radix 10 within the range of 64 bit signed integers, 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. For more information about the latency-monitor-threshold, visit https://redis.io/docs/reference/optimization/latency-monitor/.

    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 and DCS Redis 3.0 instances do not have this parameter.

    • yes
    • no

    no

    1. The default values and value ranges of the maxclients, reserved-memory-percent, client-output-buffer-slave-soft-limit, and client-output-buffer-slave-hard-limit parameters are related to the instance specifications. Therefore, these parameters cannot be modified.
    2. For more information about the parameters described in Table 1, visit https://redis.io/topics/memory-optimization.
    3. 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.
    4. 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.
