Metrics and alerts for monitoring v1

Monitor Redis Enterprise Software clusters and databases using internal monitoring systems and external monitoring tools.

The current approach to monitoring Redis Enterprise Software includes:

• Internal monitoring systems:

  • Statistics APIs, which collect various statistics at regular time intervals for clusters, nodes, databases, shards, and endpoints.

  • Cluster manager metrics and alerts.

• The v1 Prometheus scraping endpoint to integrate with external monitoring tools such as Prometheus and Grafana.

Cluster manager metrics

You can see the metrics of the cluster in:

• Cluster > Metrics
• Node > Metrics for each node
• Database > Metrics for each database, including the shards for that database

The scale selector at the top of the page allows you to set the X-axis (time) scale of the graph.

To choose which metrics to display in the two large graphs at the top of the page:

1. Hover over the graph you want to show in a large graph.
2. Click on the right or left arrow to choose which side to show the graph.

We recommend that you show two similar metrics in the top graphs so you can compare them side-by-side.

See the following topics for metrics definitions:

• Database operations for database metrics
• Resource usage for resource and database usage metrics
• Auto Tiering for additional metrics for Auto Tiering databases

Cluster alerts
