Add a Redis database

If you already have a Redis database, you can:

  • Add it manually by specifying connection details.

  • Auto-discover your Redis Enterprise Cluster or Cloud databases, as well as your Redis Sentinel instances.

If you need a free Redis database with modern data models and processing engines, select Try Redis Cloud with enhanced database capabilities.

If you already have a Redis database up and running locally, RedisInsight automatically searches for it and adds it if found.

Once added, your database appears with Database Alias, Host:Port, Connection Type, Modules, and Last connection.

Add a new key

Select +Key to add a new key.

Once added, the dashboard UI shows the hash key details.

Change the color

RedisInsight allows you to specify the color theme of your choice. Select Settings > General and change the appearance between Dark Theme and Light Theme.
