Metrics for Redis
The AWS/ElastiCache namespace includes the following Redis metrics.
With the exception of ReplicationLag and EngineCPUUtilization, these metrics are derived from the Redis
info command. Each metric is calculated at the cache node level.
For complete documentation of the Redis info command, see http://redis.io/commands/info.

| Metric | Description | Unit |
|---|---|---|
ActiveDefragHits |
The number of value reallocations per minute performed
by the active defragmentation process. This is derived from active_defrag_hits statistic at Redis INFO.
|
Number |
BytesUsedForCache |
The total number of bytes allocated by Redis for all purposes, including the dataset,
buffers, etc. This is derived from used_memory statistic at Redis INFO.
|
Bytes |
CacheHits |
The number of successful read-only key lookups in the main dictionary. This is derived
from keyspace_hits statistic at Redis INFO.
|
Count |
CacheMisses |
The number of unsuccessful read-only key lookups in the main dictionary. This is derived
from keyspace_misses at Redis INFO.
|
Count |
CurrConnections |
The number of client connections, excluding connections from read
replicas. ElastiCache uses two to three of the connections to monitor the
cluster in each case. This is derived from the connected_clients statistic at Redis INFO.
|
Count |
EngineCPUUtilization |
Provides CPU utilization of the Redis engine thread. Since Redis is single-threaded,
you can use this metric to analyze the load of the Redis process itself.
The |
Percent |
Evictions |
The number of keys that have been evicted due to the
maxmemory limit. This is derived from the evicted_keys statistic at Redis INFO.
|
Count |
NewConnections |
The total number of connections that have been accepted by the server
during this period. This is derived from the total_connections_received statistic at Redis INFO.
|
Count |
Reclaimed |
The total number of key expiration events. This is derived from the expired_keys statistic at Redis INFO.
|
Count |
ReplicationBytes |
For nodes in a replicated configuration, ReplicationBytes reports the number of bytes
that the primary is sending to all of its replicas. This metric is representative
of the write load on the replication group. This is derived from the master_repl_offset statistic
at Redis INFO.
|
Bytes |
ReplicationLag |
This metric is only applicable for a node running as a read replica. It represents how far behind, in seconds, the replica is in applying changes from the primary node. | Seconds |
SaveInProgress |
This binary metric returns 1 whenever a background save
(forked or forkless) is in progress, and 0 otherwise. A background
save process is typically used during snapshots and syncs. These
operations can cause degraded performance. Using the
SaveInProgress metric, you can diagnose whether or not
degraded performance was caused by a background save process. This is derived
from the rdb_bgsave_in_progress statistic at Redis INFO.

table
will include the EngineCPUUtilization metric.

These are aggregations of certain kinds of commands, derived from info commandstats:
| Metric | Description | Unit |
|---|---|---|
CurrItems |
The number of items in the cache. This is derived from the Redis
keyspace statistic, summing all of the keys in the entire
keyspace.
|
Count |
GetTypeCmds |
The total number of read-only type commands. This
is derived from the Redis commandstats statistic by summing all of the
read-only type commands (get, hget,
scard, lrange, etc.)

The total number of commands that are hash-based. This is derived
from the Redis commandstats statistic by summing all of the commands
that act upon one or more hashes.
|
Count |
