Redis Connector

Overview

The Redis connector enables writing data to Redis, an in-memory data structure store commonly used for caching, message queuing, and real-time analytics.

Connector Types:

RedisWriter - Write data to Redis lists

Redis Writer

Push data to a Redis list:

{
  "type": "RedisWriter",
  "config": {
    "endpoint": "localhost:6379",
    "key": "sensor_data"
  }
}

With Authentication

{
  "type": "RedisWriter",
  "config": {
    "endpoint": "redis.example.com:6379",
    "password": "your_redis_password",
    "database": 0,
    "key": "factory/sensors"
  }
}

Configuration Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`endpoint`	string	✅	Redis server address (host:port)
`key`	string	✅	Redis list key to push data to
`password`	string	❌	Redis password for authentication
`database`	integer	❌	Redis database number (default: 0)

Data Format

Data is serialized as JSON and pushed to the specified Redis list using RPUSH:

{
  "temperature": 25.5,
  "pressure": 101.3,
  "timestamp": 1234567890
}

Common Use Cases

1. Real-Time Data Queue

Buffer sensor data for downstream processing:

{
  "type": "RedisWriter",
  "config": {
    "endpoint": "localhost:6379",
    "key": "sensor_queue"
  }
}

2. Multi-Database Setup

Write to a specific Redis database:

{
  "type": "RedisWriter",
  "config": {
    "endpoint": "localhost:6379",
    "database": 2,
    "key": "production_data"
  }
}

3. Secure Remote Connection

Connect to a password-protected Redis instance:

{
  "type": "RedisWriter",
  "config": {
    "endpoint": "redis.mycompany.com:6379",
    "password": "secure_password",
    "key": "iot_events"
  }
}

Troubleshooting

Connection Failed

Solutions:

Verify endpoint address and port
Check network connectivity and firewall rules
Ensure Redis server is running
Verify password if authentication is enabled
