RedisLive

Visualize your redis instances, analyze query patterns and spikes.

Installation

Install Dependencies

• tornado pip install tornado
• [redis.py] (https://github.com/andymccurdy/redis-py) pip install redis
• [python-dateutil] (http://labix.org/python-dateutil) pip install python-dateutil

You'll also need argparse if you're running Python < 2.7:

• [argparse] (http://code.google.com/p/argparse/) pip install argparse

Get RedisLive

• Clone the repo git clone https://github.com/kumarnitin/RedisLive.git, or download the latest release

Configuration

• edit redis-live.conf :
  • update the value of the key RedisServers to the redis instances you want to monitor. You can monitor multiple instances by appending more values to the RedisServers list.
  • update the value of the key RedisStatsServer to the redis instance you will use to store RedisLive data (this redis instance is different from the redis instances you are monitoring).

if you don't have a spare redis instance to use to store RedisLive data, then you can configure RedisLive to use sqlite by changing to "DataStoreType" : "sqlite"

Start RedisLive

• start the monitoring script ./redis-monitor.py --duration=120 duration is in seconds (see caveat)
• start the webserver ./redis-live.py
• RedisLive is now running @ http://localhost:8888/index.html

Caveat on monitoring redis

Currently the only hook into monitoring a redis instance is Redis MONITOR command, which streams back every command processed and reduces the throughput of the redis instance. It is recommended to run redis-monitor with --duration suitable for your redis deployment and scheduling it to run periodically as a cron job.
