Sprinto Check: Azure Cache for Redis CPU utilization 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 CPU utilization of your Azure Cache for Redis is crucial for optimizing performance, identifying potential issues, and ensuring efficient resource utilization.

Purpose

The purpose of the Sprinto check for Azure Cache for Redis CPU utilization is to monitor and alert on the percentage of CPU usage actively. This monitoring helps you:

• Optimize Performance: Monitor CPU utilization to ensure your Redis cache operates within acceptable performance levels.

• Resource Management: Proactively identify and address issues related to high CPU usage, ensuring efficient resource utilization.

• Performance Bottleneck Detection: Receive alerts if the CPU utilization deviates from expected values, allowing you to detect and address potential performance bottlenecks.

How to Resolve

To address this check, follow these steps to create a monitoring alert for Azure Cache for Redis CPU utilization:

Before you Begin

• Ensure you have "Admin" access to the Azure account to create monitoring alerts.

• Log in to Sprinto as an administrator.

Creating Monitoring Alert

1. Log in to the Azure portal using your credentials.

2. Navigate to the Azure Cache for the Redis resource you want to monitor.

3. In the left-hand menu, under Monitoring, select Metrics.

4. In the Metrics blade, keep the existing namespace for Azure Cache for Redis.

5. Select the metric name as CPU.

   
6. From the top side, click New Alert Rule.

7. On the Configuration Signal Logic drawer, select an Aggregation type and set a custom environment-specific threshold value. Note: The Aggregation type can be selected based on your environment. If you have no preference, you can choose Average as the Aggregation type.

8. From the Create Alert Rule window, on the Details tab, set an appropriate alert rule name.

9. Finally, click Review + Create to create the alert.

Once the alert is created, Sprinto retrieves the change and sets the assigned check status to "Passing."
