RedisLive

Visualize your redis instances, analyze query patterns and spikes. This is a port of the original Redis Line to cyclone by gleicon

Installation

Install Dependencies

• cyclone pip install cyclone
• [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).
  • passwords can be added as an optional parameter for any redis instance

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)
• there is an experimentao redis-monitor-tx.tac (twistd -ny redis-monitor-tx.tac) that is meant to use txredisapi instead of the regular redis driver.
• 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.
