## Overview{% #overview %}

Alibaba Cloud Memcache (ApsaraDB for Memcache) is a fully managed, distributed in-memory caching service compatible with the Memcached protocol that provides high-speed data access for your applications.

This integration allows you to monitor cache hit rates, memory and CPU usage, connection counts, and intranet bandwidth for your Memcache instances by collecting metrics from the Alibaba Cloud Memcache service.

## Setup{% #setup %}

### Installation{% #installation %}

After you set up the [Alibaba Cloud](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/alibaba_cloud.md) integration, ensure that the Memcache service is included in your Alibaba Cloud monitoring configuration.
