Redis management and visualization interface.

Overview

Property Value
Namespace redis-sentinel
Type HelmRelease
Layer Database UI (Layer 6)
Dependencies Redis Sentinel
Access http://redis.local

Purpose

RedisInsight provides a graphical interface for managing Redis, browsing keys, executing commands, and analyzing memory usage.

Features

  • Browser - Navigate and search keys
  • CLI - Built-in Redis CLI
  • Profiler - Real-time command monitoring
  • Memory Analysis - Memory usage breakdown
  • Slow Log - Identify slow commands
  • Pub/Sub - Monitor channels

Access

http://redis.local

kubectl port-forward -n redis-sentinel svc/redisinsight 8001:8001

Then visit http://localhost:8001

Connecting to Redis

Add Database

  1. Click "Add Redis Database"
  2. Configure:
Field Value
Host redis-sentinel-master.redis-sentinel
Port 6379
Password From secret

Get Password

kubectl get secret redis-sentinel -n redis-sentinel \
  -o jsonpath='{.data.redis-password}' | base64 -d

Common Tasks

Browse Keys

  1. Select database
  2. Use "Browser" tab
  3. Search or filter keys
  4. Click key to view value

Execute Commands

  1. Open "CLI" tab
  2. Enter Redis commands
  3. View output
# Example commands
KEYS *
GET mykey
SET mykey "value"
INFO

Monitor Commands

  1. Open "Profiler" tab
  2. Click "Start Profiler"
  3. Watch real-time commands

Analyze Memory

  1. Open "Analysis" tab
  2. Click "New Report"
  3. Review memory breakdown by key pattern

Verification

# Check pod status
kubectl get pods -n redis-sentinel -l app.kubernetes.io/name=redisinsight

# Check logs
kubectl logs -n redis-sentinel -l app.kubernetes.io/name=redisinsight

Troubleshooting

Cannot connect to Redis

  1. Verify Redis is running
  2. Check password is correct
  3. Verify service DNS
# Test connection from RedisInsight pod
kubectl exec -it -n redis-sentinel deploy/redisinsight -- \
  redis-cli -h redis-sentinel-master.redis-sentinel -a <password> ping

UI not loading

# Check pod status
kubectl describe pod -n redis-sentinel -l app.kubernetes.io/name=redisinsight

# Check logs
kubectl logs -n redis-sentinel -l app.kubernetes.io/name=redisinsight

Slow performance

  1. Reduce key scan batch size
  2. Avoid scanning large key spaces
  3. Use specific key patterns
