New Relic Infrastructure Integration for Redis

In order to know how the Redis integration works and how to run it with the Infrastructure agent please check the documentation.

Integration Development usage

Assuming that you have the source code and Go tool installed (go version 1.9) then you can build and run the Redis Integration locally.

• Go to the directory of the Redis integration and build it

$ make

• The command above will execute the tests for the Redis integration and build an executable file called nri-redis under bin directory. Run nri-redis:

$ ./bin/nri-redis

• If you want to know more about usage of ./bin/nri-redis check

$ ./bin/nri-redis -help

For managing external dependencies govendor tool is used. It is required to lock all external dependencies to specific version (if possible) into vendor directory.

Agent configuration

• First of all it's required to install the agent. Please have a look at the agent installation documentation
• You can also have a look at the configuration documentation
• Before configuring the redis integration is also recommended to understand the integration configuration file

Redis Integration configuration

You can find a configuration sample file called redis-config.yml.sample in this project. Use this file as a guide and create your own config file redis-config.yml with your own configuration parameters:

• hostname: Hostname or IP where Redis server is running.
• port: Port on which Redis server is listening.
• keys: List of the keys for retrieving their lengths.
• remote_monitoring: It allows to monitor multiple instances. New users should have this value enabled. remote_monitoring: true

Installation

1. Download the Redis integration.
2. Copy the redis-definition.yml and /bin into /var/db/newrelic-infra/newrelic-integrations
3. Add execute permissions for the binary file nri-redis (if required)
4. Copy redis-config.yml into /etc/newrelic-infra/integrations.d
