Redis Observability

What to watch, what to run, and what to alert on. Covers the metrics every Redis deployment should monitor and the built-in commands for ad-hoc diagnosis.

When to apply

• Setting up monitoring or alerts for a Redis instance.
• Diagnosing a Redis performance regression (high latency, memory pressure, connection storms).
• Profiling a slow FT.SEARCH or pipeline.
• Wiring Redis metrics into Prometheus, Datadog, CloudWatch, or similar.

1. Monitor these metrics

These come from INFO and should be exported to your monitoring system.
