如何访问 AWS ElastiCache 上的 redis 日志

Question

We have been facing latency issues with our redis lately.

We are trying to debug what's going on, I came across this post and it mentioned going over the redis logs to investigate how often the db is saved in the background (ie using bgsave )

I did some research on how to access the redis logs file but couldn't find anything on how to find it on AWS ElastiCache. I also tried running the monitor command from the redis cli but it's not giving me information about stuff like backing up the database etc.

How can I access such logs?

Answer 1

Apparently, there is no way to access to the Redis server-side logs ('yet').

Answer 2

This feature is available starting with version 6 Redis.

You can now publish logs from your Amazon ElastiCache for Redis clusters to CloudWatch and Kinesis Data Firehose, by enabling slow logs in ElastiCache Console.
