Hey there! This information would only be available to you if you are running the memcached *server* and not just the PHP extension.

If you have the server installed and configured as listed under the "Install and Configure Memcached in cPanel" section here:

https://www.cpanel.net/blog/tips-and-tricks/memcached-php-applications-for-faster-web-apps/

you can run the following commands to get that information:
```
telnet localhost 11211
```
Once you connect, just type "stats" to see what it's doing and you'll get that string of output you're looking for.

To check the Memcached status in cPanel, use the memcached-tool command, for example:
```
memcached-tool 127.0.0.1:11211 stats
```
This will return output like the STAT values you listed and confirms that Memcached is running.

itx_sumeet - that command doesn't exist on my test machine by default.
