Redis local.xml <automatic_cleaning_factor>

[loginid]

Hi All,

Currently I have redis installed and have a few questions I hope someone can help me with?

1. In the local.xml I have the tag:

<automatic_cleaning_factor>0</automatic_cleaning_factor> <!-- Disabled by default -->

If I change the 0 to 1 will it automatically do a flush of my cache when required?

(Kinda like flushall from redis-cli?)

2. in redis.conf:

I'm going to put the following settings:

maxmemory 256mb
maxmemory-policy allkeys-lru

(Which I found from a wordpress config site).

Also is mentioned here : http://redis.io/topics/config

Does this make sense for Magento if I'm just using Redis as a cache?

Thank you!

Hello? Does anyone know the answer to this?

• Automatic cleaning is optional and not recommended since it is slow and uses lots of memory.
• Occasional (e.g. once a day) garbage collection is recommended if the entire cache is infrequently cleared and automatic cleaning is not enabled. The best solution is to run a cron job which does the garbage collection. (See "Example Garbage Collection Script" below.)

The above is from the Github site for the REDIS magento extension.
