Is this different from Redis monitoring?

KeyDB shares Redis protocol but has unique multi-threading metrics. This integration captures KeyDB-specific data.

Why monitor KeyDB?

KeyDB is a high-performance, multi-threaded fork of Redis offering superior throughput. Monitoring KeyDB ensures optimal operations per second, healthy memory usage, and reliable replication across your in-memory data layer.

Auto-discovery via Xitogent

Operations per second monitoring

Memory usage and fragmentation

Multi-threaded performance metrics

Replication lag tracking

Connected client monitoring

Key eviction tracking

1-minute collection intervals

Metrics

What we monitor

Ops/sec

Total operations per second.

Memory Usage

Used memory vs available.

Connected Clients

Active client connections.

Replication Lag

Bytes behind master in replication.

Key Evictions

Keys evicted due to memory pressure.

Hit Rate

Cache hit vs miss ratio.

Triggers & Alerts

Configurable alert triggers

Set up custom triggers in your dashboard to get notified the moment KeyDB metrics cross your defined thresholds.

KeyDB monitoring trigger configuration dashboard

Memory Usage

critical

Fires when memory exceeds threshold.

Replication Lag

critical

Alerts on replication falling behind.

Key Evictions

warning

Triggers on high eviction rate.

Connected Clients

warning

Fires when client count approaches limits.

Importance of KeyDB Monitoring

KeyDB's multi-threaded architecture handles massive throughput. Without monitoring, memory pressure and replication issues can cause data loss.

Track memory to prevent OOM crashes
Monitor replication for data consistency
Detect key evictions impacting cache
Optimize multi-threaded performance

Before you start

Prerequisites for KeyDB

Make sure you've got these in place — most installs are a 60-second job once they are.

KeyDB running on its configured port (default 6379)
AUTH password if requirepass is set in your KeyDB config
Network reachability from Xitogent to the KeyDB instance

Setup Guide

Get started in minutes

Install Xitogent on your KeyDB host

Install the lightweight Xitogent monitoring agent on the host running KeyDB.

curl -s https://xitoring.com/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- --key=YOUR_API_KEY

Confirm INFO command access

KeyDB is wire-compatible with Redis and uses the `INFO` command for runtime stats. Ensure KeyDB is reachable on its bind address (default 6379) and supply credentials if `requirepass` is set.

sudo xitogent integrate

Enable the KeyDB integration

Use the Xitoring dashboard or CLI to enable the KeyDB integration. Xitogent auto-detects your KeyDB instance and replication topology.

Configure alert thresholds (optional)

Set custom thresholds for Memory Usage, Replication Lag, or Key Evictions to catch capacity issues before they cause cache misses or replication divergence.

Verify it's working

Run this command on the server to confirm Xitogent picked up the integration. Fresh metrics will start streaming to your dashboard within ~30 seconds.

sudo xitogent status
