Redis Sentinel Input Plugin

This plugin collects metrics for Redis Sentinel instances monitoring Redis servers and replicas.

Introduced in: Telegraf v1.22.0 Tags: server OS support: all

Global configuration options

In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc. See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.

Configuration

# Read metrics from one or many redis-sentinel servers
[[inputs.redis_sentinel]]
  ## specify servers via a url matching:
  ##  [protocol://]()@address[:port]
  ##  e.g.
  ##    tcp://localhost:26379
  ##    tcp://username:password@192.168.99.100
  ##    unix:///var/run/redis-sentinel.sock
  ##
  ## If no servers are specified, then localhost is used as the host.
  ## If no port is specified, 26379 is used
  # servers = ["tcp://localhost:26379"]

  ## Optional TLS Config
  # tls_ca = "/etc/telegraf/ca.pem"
  # tls_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
  # tls_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
  ## Use TLS but skip chain & host verification
  # insecure_skip_verify = true

Metrics

The plugin gathers the results of these commands and measurements:

  • sentinel masters - redis_sentinel_masters
  • sentinel sentinels - redis_sentinels
  • sentinel replicas - redis_replicas
  • info all - redis_sentinel

The has_quorum field in redis_sentinel_masters is from calling the command sentinels ckquorum.

There are 5 remote network requests made for each server listed in the config.

New in InfluxDB 3.5

Key enhancements in InfluxDB 3.5 and the InfluxDB 3 Explorer 1.3.

See the Blog Post

InfluxDB 3.5 is now available for both Core and Enterprise, introducing custom plugin repository support, enhanced operational visibility with queryable CLI parameters and manual node management, stronger security controls, and general performance improvements.

InfluxDB 3 Explorer 1.3 brings powerful new capabilities including Dashboards (beta) for saving and organizing your favorite queries, and cache querying for instant access to Last Value and Distinct Value caches—making Explorer a more comprehensive workspace for time series monitoring and analysis.

InfluxDB Docker latest tag changing to InfluxDB 3 Core

On November 3, 2025, the latest tag for InfluxDB Docker images will point to InfluxDB 3 Core. To avoid unexpected upgrades, use specific version tags in your Docker deployments.

If using Docker to install and run InfluxDB, the latest tag will point to InfluxDB 3 Core. To avoid unexpected upgrades, use specific version tags in your Docker deployments. For example, if using Docker to run InfluxDB v2, replace the latest version tag with a specific version tag in your Docker pull command–for example:

docker pull influxdb:2
