Redis Monitoring
Redis monitoring sends a real PING and waits for PONG — catching the memory-pressure and connection-exhaustion states that turn a cache outage into a database incident.
When the cache dies, the database takes the hit
What it checks
- PING/PONG responsiveness
- Command round-trip latency
- Accept failures under connection or memory pressure
Set it up
- 1Add a Redis monitor with host and port
- 2Monitor private instances via the internal agent
- 3Pair with memory-pressure events from the agent
FAQ
Can it warn before Redis actually dies?
Combine the external check with agent metrics: memory headroom and OOM-kill events fire before the listener fails — the difference between warning and incident.
