What does the Redis connector do?
The Redis connector attempts to connect to a Redis server and performs a test operation. Depending on the result, it records whether the operation was successful or not, returning success or failure, thus updating the monitoring.
How to Monitor Redis on the One Platform
To set up monitoring for Redis on the platform, follow these steps:
Go to the product application where you want to add Redis as a dependency in the platform.
Click on the “Products” menu and select the desired product card.
Then, click on the name of the specific application where you want to configure Redis monitoring.
Look for the section called “External Dependencies,” usually located just below the latency graph of the application.
To add an already registered dependency, type the name of the dependency in the search field and select it when it appears in the list.
If Redis is not yet registered as a dependency, click on the green button with a plus (+) symbol to add a new dependency.
Click “Add” and a modal will appear allowing you to name the database and select the Environment. In the “Check type” field, choose the option “DB,” and in the “Method” field, select “Redis.” After selecting the method, a field for the Healthcheck URL will appear.
Below is an example of string for Redis:
ex1: HOST:PORT
In case of a Redis Cluster, you need to select the “Cluster” checkbox and use one of the following string formats:
Example 1 (Cluster): HOST1:PORT1,HOST2:PORT2,HOST3:PORT3…
Example 2 (Cluster): HOSTCONFIG:PORT
To complete the configuration, check the “TLS” box if you require a secure protocol. In the “User” and “Password” fields, you can use a secret if desired. In the “Database” field, choose the number of databases, and in “Max Retries,” define the number of attempts for the first failure.
Note: For security reasons, it is not permitted to enter an IP in the healthcheck field. To monitor an IP, you need to enter it in a secret and use it in healthcheck
