142#
143# It is possilbe to change the name of dangerous commands in a shared

145# of hard to guess so that it will be still available for internal-use

147#
148# Example:
149#
150# rename-command CONFIG b840fc02d524045429941cc15f59e41cb7be6c52
151#
152# It is also possilbe to completely kill a command renaming it into
153# an empty string:
154#
155# rename-command CONFIG ""

160# is no limit, and it's up to the number of file descriptors the Redis process
92f8e882 161# is able to open. The special value '0' means no limits.
285add55 162# Once the limit is reached Redis will close all the new connections sending
163# an error 'max number of clients reached'.

285add55 165# maxclients 128
166
3fd78bcd 167# Don't use more memory than the specified amount of bytes.
168# When the memory limit is reached Redis will try to remove keys with an
169# EXPIRE set. It will try to start freeing keys that are going to expire
170# in little time and preserve keys with a longer time to live.
171# Redis will also try to remove objects from free lists if possible.
172#
173# If all this fails, Redis will start to reply with errors to commands
174# that will use more memory, like SET, LPUSH, and so on, and will continue
175# to reply to most read-only commands like GET.

177# WARNING: maxmemory can be a good idea mainly if you want to use Redis as a
178# 'state' server or cache, not as a real DB. When Redis is used as a real
179# database the memory usage will grow over the weeks, it will be obvious if
180# it is going to use too much memory in the long run, and you'll have the time
181# to upgrade. With maxmemory after the limit is reached you'll start to get

165346ca 186# MAXMEMORY POLICY: how Redis will select what to remove when maxmemory
187# is reached? You can select among five behavior:
188#
189# volatile-lru -> remove the key with an expire set using an LRU algorithm
190# allkeys-lru -> remove any key accordingly to the LRU algorithm
191# volatile-random -> remove a random key with an expire set
192# allkeys->random -> remove a random key, any key
193# volatile-ttl -> remove the key with the nearest expire time (minor TTL)
194#
195# maxmemory-policy volatile-lru
196
197# LRU and minimal TTL algorithms are not precise algorithms but approximated
198# algorithms (in order to save memory), so you can select as well the sample
199# size to check. For instance for default Redis will check three keys and
200# pick the one that was used less recently, you can change the sample size

44b38ef4 205############################## APPEND ONLY MODE ###############################
206
207# By default Redis asynchronously dumps the dataset on disk. If you can live
208# with the idea that the latest records will be lost if something like a crash
209# happens this is the preferred way to run Redis. If instead you care a lot
210# about your data and don't want to that a single record can get lost you should
211# enable the append only mode: when this mode is enabled Redis will append
4005fef1 212# every write operation received in the file appendonly.aof. This file will
44b38ef4 213# be read on startup in order to rebuild the full dataset in memory.
214#
215# Note that you can have both the async dumps and the append only file if you
216# like (you have to comment the "save" statements above to disable the dumps).
217# Still if append only mode is enabled Redis will load the data from the
218# log file at startup ignoring the dump.rdb file.

4e141d5a 228# The fsync() call tells the Operating System to actually write data on disk
48f0308a 229# instead to wait for more data in the output buffer. Some OS will really flush
230# data on disk, some other OS will just try to do it ASAP.
231#
232# Redis supports three different modes:
233#
234# no: don't fsync, just let the OS flush the data when it wants. Faster.
235# always: fsync after every write to the append only log . Slow, Safest.
236# everysec: fsync only if one second passed since the last fsync. Compromise.
237#
6766f45e 238# The default is "everysec" that's usually the right compromise between
239# speed and data safety. It's up to you to understand if you can relax this to
240# "no" that will will let the operating system flush the output buffer when
241# it wants, for better performances (but if you can live with the idea of
242# some data loss consider the default persistence mode that's snapshotting),
243# or on the contrary, use "always" that's very slow but a bit safer than
244# everysec.

253# saving process (a background save or AOF log background rewriting) is
254# performing a lot of I/O against the disk, in some Linux configurations
255# Redis may block too long on the fsync() call. Note that there is no fix for
256# this currently, as even performing fsync in a different thread will block
257# our synchronous write(2) call.
258#
259# In order to mitigate this problem it's possible to use the following option
260# that will prevent fsync() from being called in the main process while a
261# BGSAVE or BGREWRITEAOF is in progress.
262#
263# This means that while another child is saving the durability of Redis is
264# the same as "appendfsync none", that in pratical terms means that it is
265# possible to lost up to 30 seconds of log in the worst scenario (with the
266# default Linux settings).
