## View your Redis data [#find-and-use]

Once the collector is running and sending data, you can view your Redis metrics in New Relic:

1.  Go to  **[one.newrelic.com](https://one.newrelic.com)** > **Integrations & Agents**
2.  Search for  **Redis (OpenTelemetry)**
3.  In the **Installation plan**, if you want to see the installation steps, click **See installation docs**. Otherwise, click **Skip this step**.
4.  Click  **See your data** .

You should see dashboards showing Redis health, performance metrics, and resource usage. If you're monitoring Redis on Kubernetes, the dashboards will include Kubernetes-specific context.

Or

1.  Go to  **[one.newrelic.com](https://one.newrelic.com)** > **Integrations & Agents**
2.  Under the **All** tab, click **dashboards**. Search for the Redis OTel, you can view the dashboard.

Or

1.  From the left panel, click  **Dashboards** .
2.  Search for the Redis OTel dashboard, you can view the dashboard.

> #### 💡 TIP
>
> **Not seeing data?** It may take a few minutes for data to appear. If you don't see metrics after 10 minutes, check the collector logs and verify your configuration.

## Set up alerts [#alerts]

Proactive monitoring with alerts helps you catch issues before they impact your users. To create alert conditions in New Relic:

1.  Go to  **[one.newrelic.com](https://one.newrelic.com)** > **Alerts** > **Alert Conditions**
2.  Click **Create condition**
3.  Configure the alert using either [**Guided mode**](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/alerts/create-alert/create-alert-condition/alert-conditions/) or the [**NRQL**](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/alerts/create-alert/create-alert-condition/create-nrql-alert-conditions/) query builder

The alert configurations below are recommended for robust Redis monitoring:

### Essential alerts [#essential-alerts]

These alerts monitor critical Redis health issues that can cause data loss or service outages:

**High memory utilization alert**

Metric `redis.memory.used` relative to `redis.maxmemory` is above 90% for at least 5 minutes. Redis stops accepting write commands when memory is exhausted.

**Rejected connections alert**

Metric `redis.connections.rejected` is above 0 for at least 1 minute. When the `maxclients` limit is reached, Redis rejects new connections.

**Connected replicas dropped alert**

Metric `redis.slaves.connected` drops below your expected baseline for at least 2 minutes. Replica failure reduces read capacity and compromises data durability.

**High eviction rate alert**

Rate of `redis.keys.evicted` is above 1000 per second for at least 5 minutes. High eviction rates mean Redis is under memory pressure.

### Additional monitoring alerts [#additional-alerts]

These alerts help monitor performance and operational issues:

**Low cache hit ratio alert**

Hit ratio (`redis.keyspace.hits` / (`redis.keyspace.hits` + `redis.keyspace.misses`)) is below 50% for at least 5 minutes.

**High fragmentation ratio alert**

Metric `redis.memory.fragmentation_ratio` is above 1.5 for at least 10 minutes. Excessive memory fragmentation wastes resources.

**Redis call latency from APM alert**

Average span duration where `db.system = redis` is above 10ms for at least 5 minutes. High latency on Redis calls from your application services may indicate Redis or network issues.

**Next steps:**

-   **Metrics reference**: See the complete [Redis OpenTelemetry metrics reference](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/opentelemetry/integrations/redis/metrics/) for all available metrics and their descriptions
-   **Explore metrics**: All Redis metrics are stored as `Metric` [event types](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/data-apis/understand-data/new-relic-data-types/)
-   **Create custom queries**: Use [NRQL](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/nrql/get-started/introduction-nrql-new-relics-query-language/) to build custom charts and dashboards
