====Memcache Driver====

===Information===

Loads live information from MEMCACHED servers

|Driver Type:|**Live**|

===Driver Settings===

^Option^Description^
|Host|The IP or DNS address of your Memcache server (include port if non-standard).|

===Performance Note===

Although the Memcache driver works well for small numbers of points, a REDIS or AMQP server will often be a much more efficient option when dealing with large numbers of points.

This is because those servers work on a //subscription// basis - rather than needing to be polled with constant requests, they are notified when new values are available.

|Key|The name of the Memcache key you want to read|
