Redis cluster monitoring in PHP applications

Redis is a memory-based open source data structure storage system that is widely used in scenarios such as caching, message queues, and task distribution. In PHP applications, Redis often plays an important role. As the business continues to expand, the size of the Redis cluster will gradually increase. How to conduct effective monitoring is the key to ensuring application reliability and performance. This article uses PHP applications as an example to introduce tools and technologies related to Redis cluster monitoring.

1. Overview of Redis Cluster

Let’s first understand the basic concepts of Redis cluster. A Redis cluster is a group of cooperating Redis nodes, where each node is responsible for a portion of the key space. Redis cluster uses sharding technology to achieve decentralized storage of data and high availability guarantee. Each node in the cluster can receive client requests and route and forward them through internal protocols to achieve data consistency and high availability.

Redis cluster usually consists of multiple master nodes and multiple slave nodes, each master node is responsible for one or more shards. The master-slave node synchronizes data to the slave node through asynchronous replication, and the slave node can increase the reading capability and reliability of the system by providing read services. When the master node goes down, the slave node can automatically take over from the master node to ensure high availability of the system.

2. Redis cluster monitoring requirements

Monitoring of Redis cluster is the key to ensuring the normal operation of the system and discovering potential problems. It needs to be monitored from the following dimensions:

1. Redis node health status: including whether the node is running normally and the CPU, memory, network and other resource status of the host where the node is located.
2. Redis cluster status: including the distribution of nodes in the cluster, cluster master-slave node status, cluster data synchronization status, cluster failover status, etc.
3. Redis performance indicators: including cluster QPS, hit rate, access delay, network bandwidth utilization and other indicators.
4. Redis data persistence: including the persistence status, backup and recovery of data in Redis.
5. Redis security protection: including security configuration of nodes in the cluster, user permission control, etc.

3. Redis cluster monitoring tool

1. Redis official tool: Redis Cluster command line tool provides cluster status query, node failover and other functions. Enter the Redis cluster management mode by executing the "redis-cli -c" command, and enter relevant instructions to obtain the cluster's operating status and configuration information.
2. Redis monitoring system: Use third-party monitoring systems to comprehensively monitor the health status, performance indicators and abnormalities of the Redis cluster, such as the famous Zabbix, Grafana, etc. By configuring active detection and passive collection, real-time monitoring and alarming can be achieved, making it easier for operation and maintenance personnel to deal with problems.
3. Redis visualization tool: Redis desktop manager is a visual Redis management tool that can operate and monitor data in real time. It is very convenient for small-scale Redis cluster management.

4. Redis cluster monitoring practice

Next, we will use Zabbix to monitor the Redis cluster as an example to introduce the practical details of Redis monitoring.

1. Install Zabbix server and agent, and start related services.
2. Add Redis monitoring items on Zabbix server, and you can obtain Redis related indicators through custom scripts, SNMP, etc. For specific examples, please refer to the figure below:
3. Install Zabbix agent on the Redis cluster and modify the relevant configuration files. Set the key corresponding to the Redis monitoring item in Zabbix agent and start Zabbix agent.
4. Add a host on the Zabbix server and associate it with the corresponding Zabbix agent. For Redis cluster, multiple agents can be configured for monitoring.
5. Create a monitoring template for the Redis cluster on the Zabbix server, including node health status, cluster status, performance indicators, etc. Templates can contain multiple monitoring items to facilitate batch management.
6. Configure triggers and alarm rules for Redis cluster monitoring, such as triggering alarms when node status is abnormal, cluster QPS is lower than a certain threshold, node is down, etc. Relevant personnel can be reminded to deal with the problem through emails, text messages, etc.
7. View the monitoring data and alarm information of the Redis cluster in real time, and handle abnormal situations in a timely manner. You can quickly locate and analyze through Zabbix's graphical display function to optimize the performance and stability of the Redis cluster.

5. Summary

Redis, as a high-performance in-memory database, has become an indispensable part of PHP application development. For the monitoring needs of Redis cluster, we can use a variety of tools and technologies to implement it, including Redis official tools, third-party monitoring systems, visualization tools, etc. Among them, monitoring systems such as Zabbix can comprehensively monitor the health status, performance indicators and abnormal conditions of the Redis cluster, providing a strong guarantee for the reliability and stability of the Redis cluster. In actual application scenarios, it is necessary to select an appropriate monitoring solution and continuously optimize it according to the specific environment and needs.
