Enable module

There are several built-in metricbeat modules you can use. To enable the redis module, run the following:

metricbeat modules list
metricbeat modules enable @module

Configure Module

Each module has its own configuration file where different metricsets can be enabled / disabled. Locate the configuration file for the redis module.

/etc/metricbeat/modules.d/@module.yml

By default the following metricsets are disabled. To enable or disable a metric simply comment or uncomment the line out.

- module: redis
  metricsets:
  # - info
  # - keyspace
  period: 10s

Start Metricbeat

Start or restart metricbeat (opens in a new tab) to apply the configuration changes.
