Redis monitoring

Redis is monitored agentlessly in ClusterEye: the connection is made directly from the ClusterEye API server and nothing is installed on the Redis host. Every command used is read-only — KEYS is never run, no key data is read, and nothing is ever written. Standalone, Sentinel and Cluster deployments are supported. Versions: Redis 5 — 7.4.

AgentlessDefault port: 6379Versions: 5 — 7.4

Which commands we run

INFO — memory, clients, persistence, replication and keyspace sections
CONFIG GET — maxmemory, eviction policy and persistence settings
SLOWLOG GET / SLOWLOG LEN — slow command records
LATENCY LATEST, LATENCY DOCTOR, LATENCY HISTORY — latency events and diagnostics
MEMORY STATS, MEMORY DOCTOR — memory breakdown and fragmentation
CLIENT LIST — connected clients, idle times and output buffer state
CLUSTER INFO / CLUSTER NODES — cluster state, slot distribution and node roles
ROLE, DBSIZE, TIME — replication role and key counts

What it does specifically for Redis

Memory and eviction analysis

Proximity to maxmemory, fragmentation ratio and eviction rate are tracked together, making it visible at what point eviction starts eroding your hit ratio.

Slow command and latency diagnosis

SLOWLOG records and LATENCY events are combined, correlating latency spikes with forks, AOF rewrites or specific slow commands.

Cluster and replication visibility

Slot distribution, node roles, replica lag and cluster state are tracked, surfacing missing slots or detached replicas.

Minimum privileges required

The baseline is read-only and safe to grant in production.

Prerequisites

·Agentless: the connection originates from the ClusterEye API server; no agent is installed on the target.
·Most of these commands are in the @admin category, so a plain +@read user is not sufficient.
·Redis < 6: no ACL granularity — requirepass only.
·KEYS is never run, key data is never read, and nothing is ever written.

Frequently asked questions

No. Redis is monitored agentlessly — the connection comes from the ClusterEye API server. All that is needed is for the Redis port (6379 by default) to be reachable from that server.
