Monitoring memory

Since Redis is an in-memory data service, it's of great essence to monitor the memory usage of Redis. In this recipe, we will learn the details of how to monitor the memory of Redis via the INFO command and MEMORY command.

Getting ready…

You need to finish the installation of Redis Server, as we described in the Downloading and installing Redis recipe in Chapter 1, Getting Started with Redis.

How to do it...

The operations to monitor memory of Redis are shown as following:

  1. To obtain the overall memory-related metrics of Redis, issue INFO MEMORY with bin/redis-cli:
$ bin/redis-cli INFO MEMORY
# Memory
used_memory:211428088
used_memory_human:201.63M
used_memory_rss:251547648
used_memory_rss_human:239.89M
used_memory_peak:3865330064
used_memory_peak_human:3.60G
used_memory_peak_perc:5.47%
used_memory_overhead:49242362
used_memory_startup:765624
used_memory_dataset:162185726
