Collect Logs and Metrics for Redis

Step 1: Configure Fields in Sumo Logic

Create the following Fields in Sumo Logic prior to configuring collection. This ensures that your logs and metrics are tagged with relevant metadata, which is required by the app dashboards. For information on setting up fields, see the Fields help page.

If you are using Redis in a  non-Kubernetes environment create the fields:

• component
• environment
• db_system
• db_cluster
• pod

If you are using Redis in a Kubernetes environment create the fields:

• pod_labels_component
• pod_labels_environment
• pod_labels_db_system
• pod_labels_db_cluster

Step 2: Configure Collection for Redis

Sumo Logic supports collection of logs and metrics data from Redis in both Kubernetes and non-Kubernetes environments. 

Please click on the appropriate links below based on the environment where your Redis clusters are hosted.

• Collect Logs and Metrics for Kubernetes environments
• Collect Redis Logs and Metrics for Non-Kubernetes environments

Verify logs are flowing into Sumo Logic by running the following logs query:

db_cluster=<Your_Redis_cluster_Name> component="database" and db_system="redis"

{
"timestamp":1615988485842,
"log":"1:M 17 Mar 2021 13:41:19.103 * Synchronization with replica 100.96.3.30:6379 succeeded",
"stream":"stdout",
"time":"2021-03-17T13:41:19.103646109Z"
}
