How to connect to Redislabs cluster?

[mcao8888]

Similar to Redis Insight where you register cluster port (9443), master node url (clusterA.production.int), and Admin/password (for cluster, not a specific database). This then would register all the databases on the cluster without having to register 1 database at a time. When you have numerous databases in a multitenant scenario, this would help.

Hello @mcao8888, thank you for your interest in the plug-in.

You should be able to connect to your database on port 15000 using Redis Data Source like redis://clusterA.production.int:15000 or clusterA.production.int:15000 and provide a password in Standalone mode. Do you use TLS/SSL or ACLs?

I will ask your Technical Account Manager to help you to connect.

This is how I connect to my Redis Enterprise database:

I was able to connect as you suggested (standalone, specific to a database, with the URL pointing to the node that the endpoint of the database resides on).

So we can only register 1 database at a time using standalone mode and not the entire cluster using the Redis Cluster mode?

Thanks

@mcao8888 Redis Cluster is for OSS Redis Cluster (https://redis.io/topics/cluster-spec) not Redis Enterprise.

Unfortunately, the auto-populating of Redis databases using Redis Enterprise REST API is not supported in Redis Data Source.

Could you please provide more details on what you are looking for to achieve with Redis Data Source?

[mikhail-vl]

@mcao8888 I agree, auto-populate similar to Redis Insight will be very useful.
I will check internally and get back to you.

I have updated the tooltip for Client Type to avoid confusion between Redis OSS and Enterprise clusters. Also, it will be mentioned in the documentation. Auto-populate using Redis Enterprise API will be implemented as a part of the Redis Enterprise data source in the future versions.
