Advanced parameters for Caching
You can find a complete list of configuration options via OVHcloud API. Below is a summary of most configuration options available for Caching service:
| Parameter | redis_acl_channels_default |
| Value type | string |
| Minimum | "allchannels", "resetchannels" |
| Maximum | |
| Values | |
| Description | Determines default pub/sub channels' ACL for new users if ACL is not supplied. When this option is not defined, all_channels is assumed to keep backward compatibility. This option doesn't affect Redis configuration acl-pubsub-default. |

| Parameter | redis_lfu_decay_time |
| Value type | long |
| Minimum | 1 |
| Maximum | 120 |
| Values | |
| Description | LFU maxmemory-policy counter decay time in minutes |
| Parameter | redis_lfu_log_factor |
| Value type | long |
| Minimum | 0 |
| Maximum | 100 |
| Values | |
| Description | Counter logarithm factor for volatile-lfu and allkeys-lfu maxmemory-policies |
| Parameter | redis_notify_keyspace_events |
| Value type | string |
| Minimum | |
| Maximum | |
| Values | |

| Parameter | redis_persistence |
| Value type | string |
| Minimum | |

| Values | "off", "rdb" |
| Description | When persistence is 'rdb', Redis does RDB dumps every 10 minutes if any key is changed. Also, RDB dumps are done according to the backup schedule for backup purposes. When persistence is 'off', no RDB dumps and backups are done, so data can be lost at any moment if the service is restarted for any reason, or if the service is powered off. Also, service can't be forked. |

| Value type | long |
| Minimum | 32 |
