How to Monitor GeminiDB Redis in Huawei Cloud
Site24x7 continuously monitors your GeminiDB Redis metrics, giving your team real-time visibility into CPU and memory consumption, slow query activity, and total key counts.
Catch memory exhaustion, blocked client buildup, and performance regressions early, and keep your Redis instances running reliably, so your applications are never impacted.
Use cases
Memory control: Prevent eviction by tracking used and peak memory, helping scale resources or optimize TTLs before memory limits impact cache stability.
Client flow: Avoid timeouts by monitoring blocked clients, helping identify unfulfilled blocking operations before they affect dependent services.
Query performance: Reduce latency by tracking slow queries, helping detect expensive commands early and prevent system-wide performance slowdowns.
Setup and configuration
GeminiDB Redis resources are auto-discovered and monitored during the Huawei Cloud integration. To enable monitoring, follow the steps below:
- Navigate to Cloud > Huawei > Add Huawei Monitor. Follow the steps to add a Huawei Cloud monitor.
- While adding or editing a Huawei Cloud monitor, select GeminiDB Redis from the Service/Resource Types drop-down and click Save.
- Navigate to Cloud > Huawei, select the created Huawei monitor, and then click GeminiDB Redis to view the performance metrics.

Dependency View
The Dependency View tab maps GeminiDB Redis groups based on your customer requirements. Contact support and share your requirements to help us prioritize dependency mapping for the GeminiDB Redis groups in your account.
Common monitored data
Outages
The Outages tab displays outage details, including start time, end time, duration, and related comments, to help track and review downtime events.
Notes
The Notes tab enables you to record descriptions, operational context, runbook steps, recent changes, and reference links to keep your team informed. Format the content using markdown syntax.
Log Report
The Log Report tab provides a unified view of the respective monitor's log status and supports CSV downloads for analysis and auditing.
Alert Logs
The Alert Logs tab provides a comprehensive list of all alerts generated by the monitor. Easily track key details such as the monitored resource name, alert trigger time, root cause, and notification status. Learn more.
Threshold configuration
You can configure thresholds and alerts for all GeminiDB Redis metrics to detect performance degradation proactively or connection issues.
- Go to Admin > Configuration Profiles > Threshold and Availability.
- Create or edit your Threshold Profile for GeminiDB Redis.
- Assign the profile to the respective monitors to trigger alerts.
IT Automation
Use Site24x7's IT Automation to resolve common issues with GeminiDB Redis performance:
- Go to Admin >IT Automation Templates. Then, click Add Automation Templates.
- Create an automation rule by selecting the automation Type (e.g., Server reboot, clear queue).
- Map the created rules to the GeminiDB Redis, for automatic execution during alerts.
Configuration rules
Use Configuration Rules to simplify bulk setup across GeminiDB Redis instances. Automatically assign Threshold Profiles, Notification Profiles, Tags, and Monitor Groups when new monitors are discovered.
