redis_exporter prometheus example

Here is an example configuration for using the Redis exporter with Prometheus:

1. First, download the Redis exporter binary from the official GitHub repository: https://github.com/oliver006/redis_exporter/releases

2. Extract the files and create a configuration file named "redis.yml" with the following contents:

redis_address: "redis://<redis-host>:<redis-port>"
redis_password: "<redis-password>"
redis_alias: "<redis-alias>"

Note: Replace <redis-host>, <redis-port>, <redis-password>, and <redis-alias> with your Redis instance's details.

3. Run the Redis exporter with the following command:

./redis_exporter --redis.config redis.yml

4. Add the following configuration to your Prometheus configuration file:

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'redis'
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['<redis-exporter-host>:<redis-exporter-port>']

Note: Replace <redis-exporter-host> and <redis-exporter-port> with the details of the host where the Redis exporter is running.

5. Restart Prometheus to apply the changes.

6. Verify that the Redis metrics are being scraped by visiting the Prometheus web interface and checking the "Targets" page. You should see a target named "redis" with a "UP" status.

7. You can now create your own Prometheus queries and visualizations to monitor your Redis instance's performance.
