[[metricbeat-module-redis]]
== Redis module

This module periodically fetches metrics from http://redis.io/[Redis] servers.

The defaut metricsets are `info` and `keyspace`.

[float]
=== Module-specific configuration notes

The Redis module has these additional config options:

*`password`*:: The password to authenticate, by default it's empty.
*`idle_timeout`*:: The duration to remain idle before closing connections. If
  the value is zero, then idle connections are not closed. The default value
  is 2 times the module period to allow a connection to be reused across
  fetches. The `idle_timeout` should be set to less than the server's connection
  timeout.
*`network`*:: The network type to be used for the Redis connection. The default value is
  `tcp`.
*`maxconn`*:: The maximum number of concurrent connections to Redis. The default value
  is 10.


[float]
=== Compatibility

The Redis metricsets were tested with Redis 3.2.12, 4.0.11 and 5.0-rc4,  and are expected
to work with all versions >= 3.0.

=== Example configuration

The Redis module supports the standard configuration options that are described
in <<configuration-metricbeat>>. Here is an example configuration:

[source,yaml]
----
metricbeat.modules:
- module: redis
  metricsets: ["info", "keyspace"]
  enabled: true
  period: 10s

  # Redis hosts
  hosts: ["127.0.0.1:6379"]

  # Timeout after which time a metricset should return an error
  # Timeout is by default defined as period, as a fetch of a metricset
  # should never take longer then period, as otherwise calls can pile up.
  #timeout: 1s

  # Optional fields to be added to each event
  #fields:
  #  datacenter: west

  # Network type to be used for redis connection. Default: tcp
  #network: tcp

  # Max number of concurrent connections. Default: 10
  #maxconn: 10

  # Filters can be used to reduce the number of fields sent.
  #processors:
  #  - include_fields:
  #      fields: ["beat", "metricset", "redis.info.stats"]

  # Redis AUTH password. Empty by default.
  #password: foobared
