Operation timed out on Managed Redis Database

I occasionally get an operation timed out message when pinging Redis. I’m utilizing DO’s Managed Redis Database. When I was in charge of my own Redis database, I never encountered these errors.

Errors:

• Operation timed out • Error while reading line from the server.

Laravel Config:

'default' => [
   'scheme' => env('REDIS_SCHEME', 'tls'),
   'host' => env('REDIS_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
   'password' => env('REDIS_PASSWORD', null),
   'port' => env('REDIS_PORT', 6379),
   'database' => env('REDIS_DB', 1),
// 'read_write_timeout' => 0,
],

I’ve been looking at community Q/A and they say that phpredis should work with DO Redis.

Hello, We are facing the issue. All our resources are good for Redis and the consumption is low. According to DO support we updated the redis_timeout to 0 and still it didn’t work.

This mostly happens where there is a spike in traffic which is exactly what Redis cache should be helping, but its opposite. Is there a rate limit on the connections?

Happens the same to me. Resources seem ok. Load <1, RAM at 60%, low disk usage. cpu < 30%, no rejected connections…

Hey @dragonfire1119,

What I could suggest is making sure that you have enough resources for your managed cluster:

If you have enough resources and you are still seeing those timeout errors, please reach out to our amazing support team who will be more than happy to assist you with your issue! :)
