How do you monitor and debug Redis performance issues?
Detailed Explanation
Redis monitoring and debugging strategies:
• Built-in Monitoring Commands:**
# General information
INFO all
INFO memory
INFO stats
INFO replication
INFO clients
# Real-time monitoring
MONITOR # Shows all commands (use carefully in production)
# Client connections
CLIENT LIST
CLIENT INFO
# Slow query log
SLOWLOG GET 10
SLOWLOG LEN
SLOWLOG RESET
• Key Performance Metrics:**
import redis
import time
def get_redis_metrics(r):
info = r.info()
metrics = {
# Memory
'used_memory': info['used_memory'],
'used_memory_human': info['used_memory_human'],
'mem_fragmentation_ratio': info['mem_fragmentation_ratio'],
# Performance
'total_commands_processed': info['total_commands_processed'],
'instantaneous_ops_per_sec': info['instantaneous_ops_per_sec'],
'keyspace_hits': info['keyspace_hits'],
'keyspace_misses': info['keyspace_misses'],
# Connections
'connected_clients': info['connected_clients'],
'blocked_clients': info['blocked_clients']
}
# Calculate hit ratio
total_hits = metrics['keyspace_hits'] + metrics['keyspace_misses']
if total_hits > 0:
metrics['hit_ratio'] = metrics['keyspace_hits'] / total_hits
return metrics
• Memory Analysis:**
# Find memory usage by key
MEMORY USAGE mykey
# Find largest keys
redis-cli --bigkeys
# Memory stats
MEMORY STATS
MEMORY DOCTOR
• Performance Debugging:**
# Latency monitoring
def measure_latency(r, iterations=1000):
start_time = time.time()
for i in range(iterations):
r.ping()
end_time = time.time()
avg_latency = (end_time - start_time) / iterations * 1000
print(f"Average latency: {avg_latency:.2f}ms")
return avg_latency
**Alerting Thresholds:**
• Memory usage > 80%
• Hit ratio < 90%
• Slow queries > 10ms
• Connected clients > 1000
• Memory fragmentation > 1.5
• Blocked clients > 0
**Best Practices:**
• Set up comprehensive monitoring
• Use slow query log
• Monitor memory usage and fragmentation
• Track key performance metrics
• Set up alerts for critical thresholds
