Zabbix 7.4 Redis Plugin​

I am using a Redis Database in a ML/AI prediction queue and want to monitor it using the official Redis Template in Zabbix v7.4. So let's first select it in the host configuration

Now add the following macros as needed:

  • {$REDIS.CONN.URI}: tcp://<ServerIP:RedisPort>
  • {$REDIS.LLD.FILTER.DB.MATCHES}: <DB you want to monitor>
  • {$REDIS.PASSWORD}: <The password you configured in your Redis config as requiredpass>
  • {$REDIS.USERNAME}: default

A Bug?​

I could not get a connection - the ping timed out even though triggering it manually on the server (not through the zabbix-agent2) works just fine. Since the item configuration did not show that it was using the Redis Macros I added thoses to the Zabbix Agent configuration file on my host system:

By adding this information here on the client host the agent suddenly connected and I started seeing data come in:

nano /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agent2.d/plugins.d/redis.conf
