Redis is a high-performance in-memory database critical for caching and real-time data processing. A stopped Redis service can result in performance degradation or application downtime. This policy ensures Redis remains operational with minimal manual intervention.
Description
This monitoring policy targets devices tagged with “redis” and continuously checks the Redis service’s status. If the service is stopped, it attempts to restart it and generates a real-time alert to notify your team. This helps reduce downtime and ensures seamless application performance.
Preview
Use Cases
Monitoring Redis instances used for session management in web applications.
Automating monitoring for Redis-powered message queues.
Ensuring cache availability for high-performance applications.
Reducing downtime in distributed Redis clusters.
Recommendations
Tagging: Use the “Redis” tag to identify all relevant devices. We recommend automatically tagging to avoid missing key devices. See “Service Based Tagging” automation as an example.
Testing: Simulate service stoppages to confirm the monitor’s effectiveness.
Configuration: Regularly review Redis configuration and resource allocation to avoid performance bottlenecks.
Alert Tuning: Set alerts to notify appropriate teams during business-critical hours.
FAQ
Will this monitor detect memory or CPU overload in Redis? No, this policy only monitors service status. Use additional monitors for resource utilization.
What happens if Redis restarts fail? Investigate Redis logs for potential errors, such as configuration issues or insufficient system resources.
