Redis Integration for Grafana Cloud

Redis is an in-memory data structure store frequently used as a key-value data store, cache, and message broker. The Redis Integration enables the Grafana Cloud Agent to send metrics to Grafana Cloud. The integration also creates a useful default dashboard for visualization of Redis metrics within Grafana Cloud.

This integration monitors a single Redis server. See below for information about monitoring more than one Redis server.

Use the walkthrough in Grafana Cloud to install the Redis Integration, like in our Quickstart.

Post-install configuration for the Redis Integration

In the agent config YAML file, add this section and change the redis_addr to the address of the Redis server you want to monitor:

integrations:
  redis_exporter:
    enabled: true
    redis_addr: "redis:6379"

For a full description of configuration options, including guidance on monitoring more than one Redis server, see redis_exporter_config in the Agent documentation.
