## Redis integration

The Redis integration provides **cache and key-value monitoring** for Redis, covering throughput, memory, connections, and replication. Redis is fast, but it fails in predictable ways, running out of memory, evicting keys, or exhausting connections. The integration tracks those signals so you can act before the cache starts dropping data.

| **What it’s for**  | Monitoring command throughput, memory, connections, keyspace, and replication |
| **Under the hood** | Grafana Alloy scrapes the Redis exporter with a single config block           |

## Metrics collected

- **Command throughput**: Commands processed per second and command duration
- **Memory**: Used memory, RSS, fragmentation ratio, and the max-memory threshold
- **Connections**: Connected and blocked clients
- **Keyspace**: Keys, expiring keys, and eviction rate
- **Replication**: Connected replicas

## What to know

This integration offers:

- Prebuilt dashboards: Redis
- Prebuilt alerts: instance down, out of memory, too many connections, cluster health

Prerequisites:

- Alloy needs network access to Redis.
- A Redis user for Alloy to connect with (a dedicated, least-privilege user is recommended).
