Monitoring Redis Enterprise

The Redis Enterprise sensor is automatically deployed and installed after you install the Instana agent.

Configuration

In order to enable in depth metric monitoring, you need to inform the Agent about the credentials to access monitoring information via the <agent_install_dir>/etc/instana/configuration.yaml.
