## About

# Skill: Redis Operations

> **Expertise:** Redis memory management, eviction, persistence (RDB+AOF), Redis Sentinel, Redis Cluster, K8s Redis (Bitnami/Spotahome operator).

## When to load

When investigating Redis memory pressure, configuring persistence, debugging eviction, or setting up Redis HA.

## Health Check Commands

```bash
# Connect to Redis
redis-cli -h redis-master -p 6379 -a $REDIS_PASSWORD

# Server info overview
redis-cli INFO server | grep -E "redis_version|uptime|tcp_port"
redis-cli INFO memory | grep -E "used_memory_human|used_memory_peak_human|mem_fragmentation_ratio|maxmemory"
redis-cli INFO stats   | grep -E "total_commands_processed|rejected_connections|evicted_keys"
redis-cli INFO keyspace  # databases with key counts + expires

# Real-time monitoring (ops/sec per command)
redis-cli --stat          # 1-second interval stats
redis-cli MONITOR         # log every command (NEVER in production for long — high overhead)

# Slow log (commands over threshold)
redis-cli CONFIG SET slowlog-log-slower-than 10000   # 10ms threshold
redis-cli SLOWLOG GET 20   # last 20 slow commands
redis-cli SLOWLOG LEN
redis-cli SLOWLOG RESET
```

## Memory Management

```bash
# Check memory usage breakdown
redis-cli MEMORY DOCTOR        # health analysis + recommendations
redis-cli MEMORY STATS         # detailed breakdown
redis-cli MEMORY USAGE    # bytes used by a specific key

# Find big keys (scan, not KEYS — non-blocking)
redis-cli --bigkeys            # sample-based big key finder
redis-cli --memkeys            # memory usage per key (sample)

# Memory fragmentation: ratio > 1.5 = fragmentation, ` |
| Connection refused | maxclients reached | `CONFIG SET maxclients 10000` |
| Slow KEYS command | Running `KEYS *` in production | Replace with SCAN; never use KEYS in prod |
| AOF growing unbounded | Auto-rewrite threshold too high | Lower `auto-aof-rewrite-percentage` to 50 |
