How to Add a Redis Connection

1

Open Integrations

Go to Settings → Integrations → Redis tab.
2

Click Add Redis Connection

Click the Add Redis Connection button.
3

Select Connection Type

Choose Standalone, Sentinel, or Cluster.
4

Enter Connection Details

Standalone:
  • Host (required): Redis server address
  • Port (required): Redis port (default: 6379)
Sentinel:
  • Master Name (required): Name of the master
  • Sentinel Hosts (required): List of sentinel host:port pairs
Cluster:
  • Cluster Nodes (required): List of cluster node host:port pairs
Common options:
  • Name (required): Display name for this connection
  • Authentication: None or Password
  • Password: Required if authentication is enabled
  • TLS Enabled: Enable TLS encryption
5

Save

Click Create. Use the health check to verify connectivity.

​
How to Edit a Redis Connection

  1. Click the edit icon on the connection row
  2. Modify the settings
  3. Click Save
Leave the password field empty when editing to keep the existing password.

​
How to Check Health

Click the Check button to verify connectivity. A successful check shows Redis version and memory usage.

​
How to Delete a Redis Connection

  1. Click the delete icon on the connection row
  2. Confirm the deletion
Deleting removes the connection only. Data in Redis is not affected.

​
Troubleshooting

  1. Verify host and port are correct
  2. Check if password is required and correct
  3. Ensure network connectivity to Redis
  4. For TLS, verify certificates or check TLS configuration
  1. Verify all sentinel hosts are correct
  2. Check the master name matches Sentinel configuration
  3. Ensure sentinels are running and accessible
  1. Verify at least one cluster node is correct
  2. Ensure cluster is properly initialized
  3. Check if CLUSTER commands are enabled

FAQ

Yes. Add connections for different purposes (cache, sessions, queues).
  • Standalone: Simple setups, development
  • Sentinel: High availability with automatic failover
  • Cluster: Large datasets requiring horizontal scaling
No, but recommended for production. Enable TLS for encrypted connections.
