How to Reconfigure Caching Database Clusters

Validated on 29 Apr 2024 • Last edited on 16 Apr 2025

Managed Caching is a database engine that supports Redis, an open source, key-value database built with an in-memory design that emphasizes speed. It supports rich data types, atomic operations, and Lua scripting.

You can update your database engine’s parameters with the API, such as redis_maxmemory_policy and redis_pubsub_client_output_buffer_limit. For a full list of the parameters you can edit, see our API reference. Under the REQUEST BODY SCHEMA section, click config, and then click the redis option.

To ensure database stability, you can only edit the parameters listed in our API reference. To change other Caching parameters, contact support.

Update a Database’s Configuration Using the CLI

How to Update a Database’s Configuration Using the DigitalOcean CLI
  1. Install doctl, the official DigitalOcean CLI.
  2. Create a personal access token and save it for use with doctl.
  3. Use the token to grant doctl access to your DigitalOcean account. 
    doctl auth init
  4. Finally, run doctl databases configuration update. Basic usage looks like this, but you can read the usage docs for more details: 
    doctl databases configuration update <db-id> [flags]
    The following command updates a MySQL database’s time zone: 
    doctl databases configuration update f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6 --engine mysql --config-json '{"default_time_zone":"Africa/Maputo"}'
