Redis Admin

The Redis Admin UI lets you manage your App's configured Redis Server with a user-friendly UX for managing core Redis data types, simple search functionality to quickly find Redis values, quick navigation between related values, first class support for JSON values and a flexible command interface and command history to inspect all previously run redis commands that's easily editable & rerun.

It can be enabled by registering the AdminRedisFeature plugin:

Plugins.Add(new AdminRedisFeature());

Redis Stats on Dashboard​

The Admin Dashboard contains valuable insight into monitoring the health of your App's redis usage with both client & server counters:

Info​

The Redis Admin home page shows the output of the Redis INFO command containing detailed information on the remote redis server:

By default it uses the App's configured database but can easily switch between Redis databases with the numbered Database dropdown.

Modify Redis Connection​

Changing your App's Redis Configuration at runtime can be enabled with:

Plugins.Add(new AdminRedisFeature {
    ModifiableConnection = true
});

Which will linkify the Redis Connection string to open the Change Connection Dialog:

Be aware this will change your App's Redis Connection at runtime to different redis server than what it was configured with, which can be useful if you have a warm stand-by Redis server you want to switch to without redeploying your App.

Search​

The Search tab is where you'll find the primary functionality for being able to quickly search through the Redis keyspace to find where you can create or edit new Redis Strings, Lists, Sets, Sorted Sets and Hashes:

Set​

Selecting a Redis Data Type displays an optimized form you can use to create a new Value of that type:

Which you can view in a Pretty view where collections like sets are displayed in a formatted JS Array letting you can copy all its values:

A Preview mode displaying the results in a human-friendly table view:

And an Edit mode where you can add and delete members:

String​

The same functionality is available for all Data Types, whilst Strings contain first-class support for JSON strings in the Pretty tab:

Preview

and Edit views where you can indent JSON when creating or editing JSON Strings:

Hash​

Hashes have the same functionality as SET with an additional field to capture the hash entries value:

Sorted Set​

Whilst Sorted Sets maintains an extra numerical field to capture Sorted Set scores:

Command​

The Command tab gives you a flexible Command bar letting you run custom Redis commands against the selected database, including a Command History capturing all previously run commands that can be reselected to quickly edit & rerun commands:

By default Redis Admin blocks running dangerous and unsuitable commands from a Web interface which can be modified when registering the AdminRedisFeature, that by default prevents the commands below:

Plugins.Add(new AdminRedisFeature {
    IllegalCommands = {
        "BLMOVE",
        "BLMPOP",
        "BLPOP",
        "BRPOP",
        "BRPOPLPUSH",
        "FLUSHDB",
        "FLUSHALL",
        "MONITOR",
    }
})

Profile App Redis Usage​

The command history maintains a log for all commands executed in the Redis Admin UI, you can inspect the redis commands executed by your Services with the Redis Profiling built into the Admin Profiling UI.
