The Redis Data Source for Grafana is a new plug-in that connects the open-source application monitoring tool to Redis, allowing users to monitor Redis data in Grafana dashboards. The plug-in provides an out-of-the-box predefined dashboard and lets users build customized dashboards tailored to their specific needs. It can be installed using grafana-cli, Docker, or built from scratch following GitHub instructions. The plug-in allows users to track downloads of the plugin over time by using RedisTimeSeries, a Redis module that adds a time-series data structure to Redis. Users can collect data on plugin downloads and visualize it in Grafana dashboards, providing valuable insights into application performance and usage patterns.
