- Check Redis Log Files: Immediately check the Redis server logs for any errors or warnings related to persistence. Use the following command to find the log file location and then inspect the file:
redis-cli config get logfile
- Verify Persistence Configuration: Ensure that the persistence options (RDB, AOF, or both) are correctly configured. Check the current configuration using:
redis-cli info persistence
- Check Disk Space: Insufficient disk space can cause persistence issues. Check the available disk space using:
df -h
- Monitor Memory Usage: High memory usage can affect persistence. Check memory stats with:
redis-cli info memory
- Review RDB/AOF Settings: Verify the RDB and AOF settings. For RDB, check the
save
intervals, and for AOF, check appendfsync
and auto-aof-rewrite-percentage
settings using: redis-cli config get save
redis-cli config get appendfsync
redis-cli config get auto-aof-rewrite-percentage
- Test Manual Snapshot: If using RDB, attempt a manual snapshot to see if there are issues during the save process:
redis-cli bgsave
- Force Rewrite AOF: If using AOF and suspect corruption or issues, force a rewrite to clean up the AOF file:
redis-cli bgrewriteaof
- Check for Errors in AOF File: If AOF is enabled and Redis is not starting due to corrupted AOF, use the
redis-check-aof
tool to fix it: redis-check-aof --fix <path-to-aof-file>
- Monitor Latency: High latency can indicate issues with persistence. Monitor latency with:
redis-cli --latency
- Inspect Client Connections and Commands: Check if there are too many client connections or specific commands causing issues:
redis-cli client list
redis-cli monitor
By following these specific actions, you can immediately investigate and potentially address the data persistence problems in Redis.
