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.

## From 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.
