Redis®* Cache is an open-source and in-memory data store. You must add the Redis exporters to your deployment to view this entity. See Configure Redis.

Cisco Cloud Observability displays Redis entities on the Observe page. Metrics display for specific entity instances in the list and detail views.

Detail View

  2. Under Infrastructure, click a Caches group.
    The Caches list view now displays.
  3. Click an Instance Name to display the detail view.
    The detail view displays metrics, key performance indicators, and properties (attributes) related to the cache you selected.
