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.
Follow this step by step guide to get 'logs' from your system to Logit.io:
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.
###################### Logit.io Metricbeat Configuration #######################
# =========================== 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">

<div>
<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>
</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
Start or restart to apply the configuration changes.
Step 6 - how to diagnose no data in Stack
If you don't see data appearing in your Stack after following the steps, visit the Help Centre guide for steps to diagnose no data appearing in your Stack or Chat to support now.
Step 7 - Compatibility
The Redis metricsets were tested with Redis 3.2.12, 4.0.11 and 5.0-rc4, and are expected to work with all versions >= 3.0.
