Redis High Network Traffic

Redis consuming a large amount of network bandwidth, potentially causing network congestion or slowdowns in communication with clients.
  1. Use the INFO command to get statistics and information about the Redis server, focusing on the memory, clients, and stats sections to identify memory usage, connected clients, and total connections/commands processed.
  2. Run the CLIENT LIST command to see all currently connected clients and their activity, which can help identify any clients generating excessive traffic.
  3. Execute MONITOR (with caution, as it can reduce performance) to log all commands being processed by the Redis server in real-time, providing insights into what operations are contributing to the high network traffic.
  4. Use the SLOWLOG GET command to retrieve a list of slow operations that might be affecting performance and contributing to network congestion.
  5. Apply the CONFIG GET maxclients command to check the maximum number of clients that can connect to Redis, ensuring it's not set too low, potentially causing unnecessary traffic due to clients continuously trying to reconnect.
