Flush stats

[melissafzhang]

Is there a way to flush stats? I would like to see how many cache hits/misses there are in a given time period. Thanks!

You can use myCache.getStats() for getting info on cache. To flush all data you can use myCache.flushAll().

I’m looking to flush just the stats and not the entire cache. This is useful for sending metrics to a data pipeline.

I think there is no method for just flushing stats.

@melissafzhang hey and welcome here :)

Do I understand this correctly:
You'd need a new function cache.flushStats() that resets the stats back to 0?

We do not expose such a function for now, but you can (for the time being) use this hack:

cache.stats = {
	hits: 0,
	misses: 0,
	keys: 0,
	ksize: 0,
	vsize: 0,
}

@erdii are you working on this? If not I can take it upon.
