Collect logs and metrics from your Redis using Vector  and redis exporter .

1. Set up Redis exporter

Create /etc/redis_exporter.conf config file:

/etc/redis_exporter.conf
export REDIS_ADDR="localhost:6379"
export REDIS_PASSWORD="your_password"

Fill in your Redis address and password

  • Replace localhost:6379 with address of your Redis instance.
  • Replace your_password with a password to your Redis instance.
    Find your password in /etc/redis/redis.conf file in requirepass directive.

curl -sSL https://logs.betterstack.com/install/redis_exporter | sudo -E bash

2. Run exporter
