Question

check Redis what commands have been used

I use the redis service via digitalocean. I am curious to know if there is any audit trail to see what commands have been run on the server and their status code. For example, when I add a new key, I would expect to see something in the log with an status code 200.

I have looked into the Logs panel but they are not useful. Thanks.

To monitor Redis activity on your DigitalOcean Droplet, you can enable Command Logging. This writes all executed commands and their arguments to the file redis.log in your Redis configuration directory. However, Redis doesn’t provide status codes for commands like HTTP does.

To enable this feature, add the following line to your Redis configuration file (redis.conf) and restart the Redis service:

monitor

Note: Command logging can generate a large amount of logs and consume considerable resources. Be mindful of your server’s storage and performance when using this feature.

Hi there,

I believe that you should be able to see some of the logs and queries by visiting the cluster’s Settings > Logs (or Logs & Queries) page. I should also contain things like failovers and migrations.

If the information that you get there is not enough for your use case, the best thing to do to get your voice heard regarding this would be to head over to our Product Ideas board and post a new idea, including as much information as possible for what you’d like to see implemented.

Hope that helps!
