Configure Counters to Display Caching Statistics

NCache provides a comprehensive set of performance counters that offer real-time visibility into cache activity, resource utilization, and cluster health. These counters help monitor cache performance, analyze throughput, identify bottlenecks, and troubleshoot runtime issues. By default, the Cache Statistics window in NCache Management Center displays a selected set of commonly used counters, such as requests/sec, cache hit ratio, and cache size. However, NCache allows you to customize this view by adding or removing counters based on your monitoring requirements.

By default, a few important counters are displayed in the cache performance statistics window, but you can add/remove more counters according to your requirements. In order to add counters to the statistics window, follow the steps below.
