bitclimb-redis

Description

An updated fork of PM2 module pm2-redis that monitors a Redis server with Keymetrics.

Install

pm2 install bitclimb-redis

Configure

• workerInterval (Defaults to 2 in secs) : You can control at which interval the worker is updating the stats (minimum is 1)
• host (Defaults to 127.0.0.1): Set the host of your redis server.
• port (Defaults to 6379): Set the port of your redis server.
• password (Defaults to empty): Set the password if you have activated the authentification
• url (Defaults to empty): Optional. You can also use a Redis Url. Allowed formats: [redis:]//[:password@][host][:port] [rediss:]//[: password@][host][:port]

How to set these values ?

After having installed the module you have to type : pm2 set bitclimb-redis:

e.g:

• pm2 set bitclimb-redis:workerInterval 5 (every 5 seconds)
• pm2 set bitclimb-redis:host 42.42.42.42 (host of my redis server)
• pm2 set bitclimb-redis:password "bestpassword" (the password will be used to connect to redis)
• pm2 set bitclimb-redis:url "redis://:authpassword@42.42.42.42:6379" (Optional. The url will be used to connect to redis)

This module also accepts the following environment variables:(all values are prefixed with process.env)

• REDIS_HOST or PM2_REDIS_HOST
• REDIS_PORT or PM2_REDIS_PORT
• REDIS_PW or PM2_REDIS_PW
• REDIS_URL or PM2_REDIS_URL

Recomnended (jsonfile)

It is recommended to put your sensitive info hidden from prying eyes. This module now accepts loading Redis credentials via json file.

• pm2 set bitclimb-redis:jsonfile "/home/user/yourpath/to/whatevername.json"

The json file format accepts the following example:

{
  "REDIS_HOST": "127.0.0.1",
  "REDIS_PORT": 6379,
  "REDIS_PW": "youramazingpassword"
}

Or simply by Redis Url:

{
  "REDIS_URL": "redis://:authpassword@42.42.42.42:6379"
}

Uninstall

pm2 uninstall bitclimb-redis
