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 image1 in the upper left corner and select a region and a project.

  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.

    Redis 3.0 instances do not have this parameter.

    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.

    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.

    Single-node instances do not have this parameter.

    • 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. Options:

    yes: enabled

    no: disabled

    Single-node instances do not have this parameter.

    • 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.

    Single-node instances do not have this parameter.

    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.

    Single-node instances do not have this parameter.

    Depends on the instance type and specifications.

    Depends on the instance type and specifications.

    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.

    Single-node instances do not have this parameter.

    Depends on the instance type and specifications.

    Depends on the instance type and specifications.

    maxmemory-policy

    The deletion policy to apply 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. (Recommended)

    allkeys-lru: Evict keys by trying to remove the LRU keys first.

    volatile-random: evict keys randomly, but only evict keys with 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.

    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 the value is an empty string, this function is disabled. A combination of different values can be used to enable notifications for multiple event types. Possible values:

    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 for maxmemory)

    A: an alias for "g$lshzxe"

    The parameter value must contain either K or E. A 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.

    Proxy Cluster instances do not have this parameter.

    See the parameter description.

    Ex

    slowlog-log-slower-than

    Redis records queries that exceed a specified execution time.

    slowlog-log-slower-than is the maximum time allowed, in microseconds, for command execution. If this threshold is exceeded, Redis will record the query.

    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

    Note

    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.
