We’re excited to announce a powerful new addition to the AimBetter monitoring platform: Redis monitoring is now fully supported! With more than 30 key metrics and intuitive graphical historical data, AimBetter users can now gain deep visibility into their Redis environments—empowering teams to troubleshoot faster, optimize configurations, and keep systems performing at their best.
Why Redis Monitoring Matters
Due to its speed and efficiency, Redis is widely used for caching and real-time data processing. However, like any critical service, Redis performance can degrade due to suboptimal configurations, poor cache usage patterns, or system overloads. Without proper visibility, issues like frequent cache misses or growing memory consumption can go unnoticed until they impact the end-user experience.
With AimBetter’s Redis monitoring, IT teams gain the ability to:
-
Track cache hit/miss ratios
-
Monitor memory usage and key eviction
-
Analyze latency, client connections, and command stats
-
Get alerted to abnormal behavior in real time
-
View graphical historical trends to understand changes over time
Real-World Insight: Catching Cache Misses Early
In one of our early deployments with Redis monitoring, a customer quickly uncovered an important performance issue. The system was showing a very low cache hit ratio and a high number of missed keys. Upon further analysis using AimBetter’s visual metrics, it became evident that the time-to-live (TTL) configuration for cached items was too short for the high-activity nature of the application.
Thanks to these insights, the team was able to promptly adjust the TTL settings, resulting in a dramatic improvement in the hit ratio and a more stable, high-performing Redis layer. Without AimBetter, this type of issue could have lingered undetected, leading to unnecessary database load and reduced system efficiency.
What You Get: Key Metrics at a Glance
Some of the 30+ metrics now available include:
-
Keyspace hit/miss
-
Used memory and memory fragmentation
-
Evicted keys and expired keys
-
Connected clients and blocked clients
-
Slow log entries
-
Command execution stats
-
And much more—all visualized with historical context
