Settings and metrics
Resize a Redis database without a restart, change its eviction policy and persistence, read its memory, hit rate and client metrics, and delete it.
Change the plan
On the database's Settings tab, under Plan, pick a bigger or smaller plan and select Change plan. Memory and CPU change live, without a restart, and billing follows the new plan from then on.
Eviction and persistence
Change the Eviction policy and Persistence on Settings, then Save settings. Changes apply live, without a restart. See Create a Redis database for what each option does.
Metrics
The Overview shows memory use from the last hour; the Metrics tab charts, for the last hour, 24 hours or 7 days:
- Memory used against the plan's limit;
- Operations / s: commands processed per second;
- Hit rate: reads that found their key;
- Connected clients;
- Evictions: keys removed to free memory;
- Keys stored;
- CPU in use.
When memory is nearly full, the Overview warns you: with an eviction policy, keys are being evicted to make
room; with noeviction, writes fail. Move to a bigger plan to keep more.
Delete the database
On Settings, select Delete database and confirm. Its data is removed and billing stops. This can't be undone.
