Redis Monitor

Checks Redis connectivity using the PING command.

Basic Example

apiVersion: monitoring.yuptime.io/v1
kind: Monitor
metadata:
  name: redis-health
  namespace: yuptime
spec:
  type: redis
  schedule:
    intervalSeconds: 30
    timeoutSeconds: 5
  target:
    redis:
      host: "redis.cache.svc.cluster.local"
      port: 6379

Target Configuration

target:
  redis:
    host: "redis.example.com"           # Required: server host
    port: 6379                           # Optional: port (default: 6379)
    database: 0                          # Optional: database 0-15 (default: 0)
    credentialsSecretRef:
      name: redis-credentials
      passwordKey: password              # Optional (default: "password")
    tls:
      enabled: false                     # Optional: enable TLS

Credentials Secret

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: redis-credentials
  namespace: yuptime
type: Opaque
stringData:
  password: your_redis_password

Examples

Without Authentication

apiVersion: monitoring.yuptime.io/v1
kind: Monitor
metadata:
  name: redis-cache
  namespace: yuptime
spec:
  type: redis
  schedule:
    intervalSeconds: 15
    timeoutSeconds: 5
  target:
    redis:
      host: "redis.cache.svc.cluster.local"
      port: 6379

With Authentication

apiVersion: monitoring.yuptime.io/v1
kind: Monitor
metadata:
  name: redis-auth
  namespace: yuptime
spec:
  type: redis
  schedule:
    intervalSeconds: 30
    timeoutSeconds: 5
  target:
    redis:
      host: "redis.cache.svc.cluster.local"
      port: 6379
      credentialsSecretRef:
        name: redis-credentials

ElastiCache with TLS

apiVersion: monitoring.yuptime.io/v1
kind: Monitor
metadata:
  name: elasticache
  namespace: yuptime
spec:
  type: redis
  schedule:
    intervalSeconds: 30
    timeoutSeconds: 10
  target:
    redis:
      host: "cluster.xxxx.cache.amazonaws.com"
      port: 6379
      credentialsSecretRef:
        name: elasticache-credentials
      tls:
        enabled: true

With Alerting

apiVersion: monitoring.yuptime.io/v1
kind: Monitor
metadata:
  name: redis-production
  namespace: yuptime
spec:
  type: redis
  schedule:
    intervalSeconds: 15
    timeoutSeconds: 5
  target:
    redis:
      host: "redis.production.svc.cluster.local"
      credentialsSecretRef:
        name: redis-credentials
  alertmanagerUrl: "http://alertmanager.monitoring:9093/api/v2/alerts"
  alerting:
    notifyOn:
      down: true
      up: false

Troubleshooting

Connection refused: Redis not running or wrong host/port NOAUTH Authentication required: Password needed but not provided Invalid DB index: Database number must be 0-15
