Validate.php in distributed environment

Hello,
I have a couple of LibreNMS servers running in a distributed poller setup.
Everything is working fine, but I have noticed that validate.php gives an error on memcached connection.

As per the instructions here: Scaling LibreNMS - LibreNMS Docs I understand that I am free to choose my locking mechanism for the distributed poller.
I have chosen Redis and therefore I do not have memcached installed.

My .env file looks like this

DB_HOST=10.10.10.10
DB_DATABASE=librenms
DB_USERNAME=librenms
DB_PASSWORD=mypassword

REDIS_HOST=10.10.10.10
REDIS_PORT=6379
REDIS_PASSWORD=mypassword
REDIS_DB=0
REDIS_TIMEOUT=60
CACHE_DRIVER=redis

Output from validate.php is

===========================================

Seeing that I use Redis and not Memcached, I believe the output from validate.php is incorrect (it is incorrectly checking for memcached). I also believe this is a cosmetic issue only, as everything works fine.

Can someone confirm this?
Maybe it’s a small bug that can be fixed?

Many thanks!!

Yes we get the same

Thanks for the reply!

So it seems it’s a bug in validate.php, not honoring the chosen cache driver in a distributed poller setup.

Although only cosmetic, it would be nice if someone can fix it.
