Redis process monitoring

Redis process monitoring involves verifying that the server is running and accessible on the network.^[600-developer__big-data__redis__redis-01-install.md]

Checking Process Status

To confirm that the Redis process is active, you can check the running processes.^[600-developer__big-data__redis__redis-01-install.md] The standard command is:

ps -ef | grep redis | grep -v grep

This allows you to verify the existence of the redis-server process (often called redis-server when started from the src directory).^[600-developer__big-data__redis__redis-01-install.md]

Checking Network Connectivity

In addition to the process ID, it is important to ensure the server is listening on the correct port.^[600-developer__big-data__redis__redis-01-install.md] You can verify network connectivity using the following commands:

  • netstat -tlanp | grep 6379^[600-developer__big-data__redis__redis-01-install.md]
  • lsof -i:6379^[600-developer__big-data__redis__redis-01-install.md]

Interactive Verification

Finally, you can verify the server's status by using the redis-cli tool to send a ping command.^[600-developer__big-data__redis__redis-01-install.md] If the server is running correctly, it will respond with PONG.^[600-developer__big-data__redis__redis-01-install.md]
