Redis Metrics
Collect and ship Redis server metrics to Logstash and Elasticsearch.
Metricbeat is a lightweight shipper that helps you monitor your Redis servers by collecting metrics running on the Redis server. Configure Metricbeat using the pre-defined examples below to collect and ship Redis service metrics and statistics to Logstash or Elasticsearch.
Step 1 - Install Metricbeat
deb (Debian/Ubuntu/Mint)
curl -L -O https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/beats//-oss-7.15.1-amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i -oss-7.15.1-amd64.deb
rpm (CentOS/RHEL/Fedora)
curl -L -O https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/beats//-oss-7.15.1-x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -vi -oss-7.15.1-x86_64.rpm
macOS
curl -L -O https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/beats//-oss-7.15.1-darwin-x86_64.tar.gz
tar xzvf -oss-7.15.1-darwin-x86_64.tar.gz
Windows
- Download and extract the Windows zip file.
- Rename the
-<version>-windows
directory to ``. - Open a PowerShell prompt as an Administrator.
- Run the following to install as a Windows service:
.\install-service-.ps1
PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy UnRestricted -File .\install-service-.ps1
.
Step 2 - Copy configuration file
The configuration file below is pre-configured to send data to your Logit.io Stack via Logstash.
Copy the configuration file below and overwrite the contents of metricbeat.yml.
###################### Metricbeat Configuration Example #######################
# =========================== Modules configuration ============================
metricbeat.config.modules:
# Glob pattern for configuration loading
path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml
# Set to true to enable config reloading
reload.enabled: false
# Period on which files under path should be checked for changes
#reload.period: 10s
# ======================= Elasticsearch template setting =======================
setup.template.settings:
index.number_of_shards: 1
index.codec: best_compression
#_source.enabled: false
# ================================== Outputs ===================================
# ------------------------------ Logstash Output -------------------------------
<div class="sw-warning">
<b>No input available! </b> Your stack is missing the required input for this data source <a href="#" onclick="Intercom('showNewMessage')" class="btn btn-info btn-sm">Talk to support to add the input</a>
</div>
Step 3 - Enable module
There are several built in metricbeat modules you can use. To enable the Apache module, run the following:
deb/rpm
metricbeat modules list
metricbeat modules enable redis
macOS
./metricbeat modules list
./metricbeat modules enable redis
Step 4 - Configure module
Each module has its own configuration file where different metricsets can be enabled / disabled. Locate the configuration file for the Redis module.
deb/rpm
/etc/metricbeat/modules.d/redis.yml
macOS
~/<EXTRACTED_ARCHIVE>/modules.d/redis.yml
By default the metricsets are disabled. To enable or disable a metric simply comment or uncomment the line out.
- module: redis
metricsets:
# - info
# - keyspace
period: 10s
Step 5 - Start Metricbeat
Ok, time to start gathering metrics!
deb/rpm
sudo systemctl enable metricbeat
sudo systemctl start metricbeat
macOS
./metricbeat
