redis-observability
Redis observability guidance — which metrics to monitor (memory, connections, hit ratio, ops/sec, rejected connections), which built-in commands to reach for during incident triage (SLOWLOG, INFO, MEMORY DOCTOR, CLIENT LIST, FT.PROFILE), and when to use the Redis Insight GUI. Use when setting up monitoring or alerts for a Redis instance, diagnosing a performance regression, profiling a slow FT.SEARCH query, or wiring Redis metrics into Prometheus, Datadog, or similar.
Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "redis/agent-skills:skills/redis-observability" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.
Manual command
git clone https://github.com/redis/agent-skills /tmp/agent-skills && ln -s /tmp/agent-skills/skills/redis-observability ~/.claude/skills/redis-observabilityFrom README
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. Monitor these metrics These come from INFO and should be exported to your monitoring system. | Metric | What it tells you | Alert when | |---|---|---| | usedmemory | Current memory | > 80% of maxmemory | | connectedclients | Open connections | Sudden spikes or drops | | blockedclients | Clients waiting on blocking ops | > 0 sustained | | instantaneousopspersec | Current throughput | Significant drops | | keyspacehits / keyspacemisses | Cache hit ratio | Hit ratio 0 | | rdblastsavetime | Last persistence snapshot | Too old vs.
