CheckMK Create a Redis Check

[kayiwa]

What maintenance needs to be done?

Create a redis check for all instances that run it. CheckMK has pretty good MySQL documentation. That can be used in conjunction with this link

Level of urgency

• High
• Moderate
• Low

Why is this maintenance needed?

This would allow us to know about any redis outages pretty early

Acceptance criteria

• Checkmk says "OK" when the connection is good
• Checkmk says "WARN" or "CRIT" when the connection is bad (for example if it is not running)

Implementation notes, if any
