Sprinto Check: Azure Cache for Redis freeable memory should be monitored
Azure Cache for Redis is a fully managed, open-source, in-memory data store that provides high-performance data access to applications. Monitoring the freeable memory in your Redis cache is essential for optimizing resource utilization, preventing performance bottlenecks, and ensuring efficient memory management.
Purpose
The purpose of the Sprinto check for Azure Cache for Redis freeable memory is to actively monitor and alert on the percentage of used memory in your Redis cache. This monitoring helps you:
Optimize Resource Utilization: Understand and manage freeable memory to optimize the overall performance of your Redis cache.
Prevent Performance Issues: Proactively identify and address issues related to memory constraints, preventing performance bottlenecks.
Efficient Memory Management: Receive alerts if the used memory percentage deviates from expected values, allowing you to manage your Redis cache memory efficiently.
How to Resolve
To address this check, follow these steps to create a monitoring alert for Azure Cache for Redis freeable memory:
Before you Begin
Ensure you have "Admin" access to the Azure account to create monitoring alerts.
