RedisTooManyMasters in a multi-cluster setup

[exolab]

Hi,

We are seeing this alert after deploying multiple Redis clusters in different namespaces. AFAICT Redis itself does not consider this setup a problem.

Does the alert not take this scenario into account, or are we mistaken in thinking we do not have a real problem?

Shouldn't the query be

count(redis_instance_info{role="master"}) by (namespace) > 1 or something similar that takes this scenario into account?

Hi @exolab and thanks for the report.

Do you have a better label than "namespace" for the cluster differentiation?

Do you know if redis_exporter exposes any cluster name?

Maybe by(service) would work. But I am by no means an expert on this.
