Memcache

The MEMCACHE output module allows you to write data to a Memcache in-memory key-value store.

While Redis is often a more attractive option due to it's subscription mechanism, unfortunately Redis isn't officially compatible with Windows servers.

Memcache provides a simple way of distributing live values by reading them out of memory rather than storing them in a database.

   {
       "method": "memcache",
