Redis cluster logs

The Logs service is used for logging. For more information on how the service works and pricing, see the Logs service overview manual. You can check Logs service availability across locations in the Logs availability by location manual.

Logged events in the Cloud Databases Redis cluster are defined by the loglevel = notice parameter.

To collect cluster logs in the Logs service, enable logging. You can get logs in the control panel, using API requests, or via the AWS CLI. If you no longer need to collect logs, you can disable logging.

Logs are stored for 30 days.

Enable logging

You can enable logging via the API or in the Control Panel:

Enable logging in an existing cluster

Logging uses part of the cluster's computing resources. To control the amount of resources consumed, monitor cluster node metrics. For details on how to view metrics, see the Monitoring Redis cluster, nodes, and databases instructions.

  1. In the control panel, in the top menu, click Products and select Managed Databases.
  2. Open the Active tab.
  3. Open the cluster page → Settings tab.
  4. In the Logging block, in the Log service field, click Connect.
  5. Select a log group or create a new group.
  6. If you selected a new group, enter its name.
  7. Click Save.

Get logs

Use the Get logs manual in the Logs section.

An event stream redis.log-<instance_id> is created for the Cloud Databases Redis cluster, where <instance_id> is the cluster node ID.

See the description of log fields for the Redis cluster.
