How to check how much memory is assigned to redish cache?

[Achintyarai22]

I want to check how much memory is assigned to redish cache and also want to check how much memory is used by redish cache at a particular instance?

The codebase does not seem to include specific functions, documentation, or tools for monitoring Redis cache memory usage or for checking how much memory is assigned to the Redis cache. However, you can use external tools and commands to achieve this.

To check how much memory is assigned to and used by the Redis cache, you can use the INFO command in Redis. This command provides a lot of information about the Redis server, including memory usage. Here's how you can do it:

1. Connect to your Redis server using the Redis CLI:

   redis-cli

2. Run the INFO memory command:

   INFO memory

This will display information about memory usage, including used_memory, which shows the total number of bytes allocated by Redis, and maxmemory, which shows the maximum memory limit set for Redis if any.

If you want to set a memory limit for Redis, you can do so in the Redis configuration file (redis.conf) by setting the maxmemory directive. Alternatively, you can set it at runtime using the CONFIG SET command:

CONFIG SET maxmemory <bytes>

These methods will help you monitor and manage Redis memory usage effectively.
