Redis Dashboard Screenshot

Quick Install

InfluxDB UI

In the InfluxDB UI, go to Settings->Templates and enter this URL: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/influxdata/community-templates/master/redis/redis.yml

Influx CLI

If you have your InfluxDB credentials configured in the CLI, you can install this template with:

influx apply -u https://raw.githubusercontent.com/influxdata/community-templates/master/redis/redis.yml

Included Resources

  • 1 Bucket: redis, 7d retention
  • Labels: Telegraf Plugin Labels
  • 1 Telegraf Configuration
  • 1 Dashboard: Redis
  • 1 Variable: bucket

Setup Instructions

The data for the dashboard is populated by the included Telegraf configuration and the Redis Input plugin. The Redis Input defaults to using tcp://localhost:6379 as the server. If your redis server is running at a different address or is using authentication, you will need to update this value in the Telegraf configuration. See the Redis Input Documentation for more details.

The Telegraf Configuration requires the following environment variables

  • INFLUX_TOKEN - The token with the permissions to read Telegraf configs and write data to the telegraf bucket. You can just use your operator token to get started.
  • INFLUX_ORG - The name of your Organization (this will be your email address on the InfluxDB Cloud free tier)
  • INFLUX_HOST - The URL of your InfluxDB host (this can your localhost, a remote instance, or InfluxDB Cloud)

You MUST set these environment variables before running Telegraf using something similar to the following commands

  • This can be found on the Load Data > Tokens page in your browser: export INFLUX_TOKEN=TOKEN
  • Your Organization name can be found on the Settings page in your browser: export INFLUX_ORG=my_org

Running Telegraf

To get resource data from your Redis hosts, download and install Telegraf on those hosts. InfluxData provides native packages for a number of distributions as well as binaries that can be executed directly.

Start Telegraf using the instructions from the Load Data > Telegraf > Setup Instructions link in the UI.

Customizations

You can customize it based on your Redis installation. More information can be found in the Telegraf Redis Input documentation.
