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.

What this skill does
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. Metric What it tells you Alert when --- --- --- usedmemory Current memory usage > 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 < 80% rejectedconnections Hit maxclients cap > 0 rdblastsavetime Last persistence snapshot Too old vs. RPO See references/metrics.md. 2. Built-in commands for debugging Reach for these when something looks off. Topic Command --- --- Slow commands SLOWLOG GET 10 / SLOWLOG LEN / SLOWLOG RESET Server snapshot INFO all (or INFO memory / INFO stats / INFO clients / INFO replication) Memory diagnostics MEMORY DOCTOR / MEMORY STATS / MEMORY USAGE <key> Connections CLIENT LIST / CLIENT INFO RQE / Search FT.INFO <idx> / FT.PROFILE <idx> SEARCH QUERY "..." The two most useful for incident triage: SLOWLOG GET to find queries that exceeded the slowlog-log-slower-than threshold (10ms by default). The output shows the exact command and duration in microseconds. MEMORY DOCTOR for memory pressure — it returns a one-paragraph summary of what's unusual about memory usage right now. See references/commands.md. 3. Redis Insight For interactive use (running queries, browsing keys, profiling indexes), Redis Insight is the official GUI. …
