4 reasons why PRTG is your ideal Redis monitoring software

eye

Track everything that matters

PRTG keeps an eye on all the important Redis metrics. You can monitor memory usage, latency, connected clients, and more. PRTG even tracks things like memory fragmentation and keyspace activity. You'll have a complete picture of your Redis health, allowing you to improve performance and stop issues before they happen.

notification

Never miss an alert again

Stay informed about your Redis infrastructure with PRTG's customizable alerting system. Create notifications for different scenarios, whether it's high memory usage, slow response times, or too many clients – you will know right away. Choose how you want to be notified - email, SMS, or push notifications, so you and your team can quickly respond to any Redis problem.

database analysis

In-depth analysis

PRTG gives you the details you need to solve Redis problems. Check throughput, monitor the number of operations per second, and track the hit rate of your Redis cache. You can also see how your data structure usage, TTL (Time To Live) settings, and eviction policies are working. With these insights, you can fine-tune your Redis for top performance.

infrastructure

Fits into your infrastructure

No matter where your Redis runs - on-site or in the cloud (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud) – thanks to its flexible API PRTG it’s easy to integrate your network monitor into your existing infrastructure. Monitor multiple Redis instances at once, keep tabs on Redis clusters, and watch over Redis Enterprise deployments. As your Redis use grows, PRTG grows with you, giving you consistent monitoring across your whole Redis ecosystem.

What Redis monitoring looks like in PRTG

Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking your Redis instances. Show memory usage, latency, and other key metrics in real time. Visualize monitoring data in clear graphs and dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the overview you need to troubleshoot Redis server issues and optimize performance.

How to monitor Redis with PRTG

PRTG gives you a complete view of your Redis instances, helping you to run them efficiently and reliably.

performance

Performance & memory

Track the essentials: memory usage, latency, and throughput. You'll see slowdowns as they happen and can act fast. Monitor your memory limits and fragmentation with PRTG to optimize your resources, all while you can easily keep an eye on response times and operations per second, giving you a clear picture of your Redis database performance.

replication

Replication & clients

To support high availability, monitor your Redis replication with PRTG, to observe connected slaves and possible replication lag. Track the number of clients and client connections, to help your team manage load and avoid overload situations. Monitor blocked clients and quickly identify and resolve issues that might cause delays or failures. With this thorough monitoring your Redis setup will be able to handle your application's demands.

data struture

Data structures & keys

PRTG Redis monitoring constantly checks the health of your data structures and key usage, giving you insights into keyspace hits and misses. It monitors the total number of keys in the database and tracks Time To Live (TTL) as well as expiration settings. You can also watch eviction counts and policies, helping you can fine-tune your Redis configuration to handle memory pressure and maintain efficient memory usage and data freshness.

configuration

Config & system monitoring

Don't just watch Redis - monitor the whole system it runs on. Track Redis process CPU usage and various operating system metrics, including those specific to Linux environments. Get alerts on config changes that might affect performance while tracking Pub/Sub channels and patterns, giving you insights in your messaging system. With PRTG, you get complete visibility into your entire Redis setup.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

“We set up PRTG to read the event logs of the service. If the service is no longer able to access the database, then this information is recorded in the service’s EventLog and immediately detected by PRTG via WMI. The software then automatically triggers a script that restarts the service. The service reestablishes its connection to the database and the problem is solved.”

David Jungwirth
Austrian Red Cross

“Thanks to significant improvements in performance, the integration of all monitoring (including that of databases and SAP services) into PRTG, numerous automation options, and the consolidation of all locations into the centralized monitoring system, we have been able to greatly relieve our help desk and provide for the most reliable and comprehensive of monitoring services.”

Mirco Blöchliger
Somnitec AG

“We are currently using 4,500 sensors across the whole hospital which monitor physical servers, virtual machines, physical switches, ports, special devices such as ventilators and we also started writing some scripts which check SQL databases. So far PRTG has led to faster problem resolution, which has helped reduce downtime, made the team more efficient and, as a consequence, has freed up time for other projects.”

Redis Monitoring: FAQ

 

What is Redis monitoring?

Redis monitoring tracks how well your Redis is performing. PRTG watches key metrics like memory usage, latency, and connected clients. We alert you when problems pop up. This helps keep your Redis fast and reliable for your applications.

Why is monitoring Redis important?

Monitoring Redis is crucial for maintaining high performance and reliability. By tracking metrics like memory usage, latency, and throughput, you can spot potential bottlenecks, optimize resource allocation, and prevent downtime. This keeps your Redis-dependent applications running smoothly and efficiently, whether Redis is used as a database, cache, message broker, or queue.

How does PRTG monitor Redis instances?

PRTG uses specialized sensors and protocols to monitor Redis instances. It can connect directly to Redis using the Redis CLI or monitor via the Redis INFO command. PRTG also uses SNMP for broader system monitoring and can track Redis performance through custom scripts and API integrations. This approach provides a comprehensive view of your Redis environment.

Can PRTG monitor Redis in different deployment scenarios?

Yes, PRTG adapts to various Redis deployment scenarios. Whether you're running standalone Redis instances, Redis clusters, or Redis Enterprise setups, PRTG can monitor them. It supports Redis monitoring in on-premises environments, cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, and hybrid setups.

What Redis metrics does PRTG monitor?

PRTG monitors a wide range of Redis metrics, including:

  • Memory usage (used memory, max memory, memory fragmentation)
  • Performance metrics (latency, throughput, operations per second)
  • Client connections (connected clients, blocked clients)
  • Data structure usage and efficiency (keyspace hits/misses, evictions)
  • Replication status (connected slaves, replication lag)
  • System-level metrics (CPU usage, network traffic)
How can PRTG help optimize Redis performance?

PRTG supports Redis performance optimization by providing real-time insights and historical data on key performance indicators. By monitoring metrics like memory usage, latency, and throughput, you can identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies. PRTG's alerting system helps catch issues early, while its detailed reporting aids in making informed decisions about scaling, configuration changes, and resource allocation.

How does PRTG enhance Redis performance monitoring?

PRTG improves Redis performance monitoring by offering a comprehensive view of your Redis database and its environment. It provides real-time insights into key performance indicators, allowing you to track the health of your data set and overall system performance. With PRTG's observability features, you can monitor everything from memory usage and latency to the number of clients and Linux-specific metrics, supporting optimal performance of your Redis instances across various deployment scenarios.

What is a sensor in PRTG?

In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, for example the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space on a disk drive. On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.

We asked: would you recommend PRTG? Over 95% of our customers say yes!

Paessler conducted trials in over 600 IT departments worldwide to tune its network monitoring software closer to the needs of sysadmins. The result of the survey: over 95% of the participants would recommend PRTG – or already have.
