Profiler

Analyze commands in real time

Debug and monitor the performance and security of your Redis or Redis Stack instance using the Profiler tool.

Profiler is a tool based on Redis MONITOR command that streams back every command processed by the Redis server in real-time.

Profiler can help you to:

  • Debug issues with your database.
  • Diagnose issues and identify problematic commands.
  • Identify performance issues and bottlenecks.
  • Detect suspicious activity such as unauthorized access attempts or unusual commands being sent to the Redis server.
  • Spot bugs in an application both when using Redis or Redis Stack as a database and as a distributed caching system.
Note

Because MONITOR streams back all commands, its use comes at a cost of reducing the throughput of your database. Therefore, avoid running Profiler in production databases.

RedisInsight also allows you to download the file with all the logs streamed back to analyze them outside of the application. Before starting the Profiler, enable saving to save the logs to a .txt file.
