Cacti Memcache Multi-Port Templates
Submitted by nnewton on Fri, 04/24/2009 - 17:12.We at Tag1 have used the Cacti Memcache templates many times. (http://dealnews.com/developers/cacti/memcached.html) They have become a staple for us and many others. However, we and one of our clients have had issues making them work for monitoring multiple Memcache instances (running on different ports) on the same host. It is possible to make this work with the vanilla templates, but it is a bit difficult.

NFS, Drupal And The Realpath Cache
Submitted by nnewton on Fri, 04/17/2009 - 16:19.There are few options for sharing webroots among multiple webnodes. This is especially true for Drupal, which has a files directory that could be constantly diverging on each webnode. Usually people decide to go with NFSv3. This is what we do on drupal.org and most of my clients do at Tag1. Sadly, this is not really a decision on merit, but on a lack of other options. NFSv3 is pretty much like communicating with two cans and a string.
