The skill

The redis observability skill helps ops teams decide which Redis metrics to monitor and alert on, and which built-in commands like SLOWLOG, INFO and MEMORY DOCTOR to use during incident triage.

Only when you ask.

The habit

Catch Redis trouble before users do.

↻ Runs by itselfhourly health check

How the habit works.
You don't have to.

Three questionsWhen does it start? How does it check its work? What does it remember?

01

It starts by itself

hourly health check. Runs in cron or Claude Code routine.

  • ↻ hourly health check
  • 0 * * * *

02

It checks its work

metrics within alert limits. If a check fails, it tells you.

  • ✓used_memory is under 80% of maxmemory
  • ✓hit ratio is 80% or higher
  • ✓rejected_connections is 0
  • ✓blocked_clients is not above 0 for two readings in a row

03

It remembers

hourly readings log. The next run reads it first: recent readings to spot spikes, drops and trends.

loops/redis-health-check-loop/run-log.md

One run, step by step.
Then it stops.

Stop ruleStops after one reading and at most one triage per instance per run.

  1. 01

    Read INFO

    Run INFO and pull memory, clients, ops per second, hits, misses and last save time.

  2. 02

    Compare

    Check each metric against its alert condition and the last readings.

  3. 03

    Triage

    If a limit trips, run SLOWLOG GET 10, MEMORY DOCTOR and CLIENT LIST.

  4. 04

    Log and notify

    Write the reading and send a short note when a check fails.

What it may do.
Nothing more.

Safe by defaultIt writes only in its own folder and asks you before anything goes out.

Is it for you?
Use it when it fits.

Quick checkRead both lists. If the left one sounds like you, the Redis Observability skill helps.

Use it when

  • ✓ You set up Redis alerts
  • ✓ Redis latency goes up
  • ✓ You profile a slow FT.SEARCH query

Skip it when

  • – You only need Redis security hardening
  • – You do not run Redis

Questions

Redis Observability skill, answered.

Does this replace Prometheus or Datadog?

No. The skill says metrics should be exported to your monitoring system; this loop adds triage.

Will it reset the slow log?

No. It only reads SLOWLOG GET; it does not run SLOWLOG RESET.

How do I install the Redis Observability skill?

Copy the prompt at the top into your agent. It installs the skill from redis/agent-skills and sets up the habit. Or run npx skills add redis/agent-skills --skill redis-observability.

Is the Redis Observability skill free?

Yes. It is published under MIT. Habit is free too.
