Possible alerts - bins in a cluster are not matched in size - clock deviation within servers (and with the client) outside some limit - inconsistent builds between servers - variation on connection and answer delay - non-zero eviction rate - inconsistent slab factors between bins - multiple uses of same bin in monitor config - rusage_* increase on some servers outside normal variations - inconsistent uptimes - optimizations: different slabs factor simulation shows less memory use than current Suggestions on http://code.google.com/p/memcached/wiki/NewServerMaint
