Redis® is an in-memory database that provides blazingly fast performance. This makes it a compelling alternative to disk-based databases when performance is a concern. You will need to know which monitoring metrics for Redis to watch and a tool to monitor these critical server metrics to ensure its health.

Monitoring focuses on watching specific metrics. Observability is the ability to understand a system’s internal state by analyzing the data it generates, such as logs, metrics, and traces. For example, we can actively watch a single metric for changes that indicate a problem — this is monitoring.
