Viewing high-level information about clusters in Memorystore for Redis Cluster is essential to obtain a comprehensive snapshot of the cluster's state, configuration, and connectivity.
The following are sample use cases for viewing summary information about clusters:
- Retrieve connection endpoints: retrieve the discovery endpoint , which consists of an IP address and port number.
- Verify custom configurations: view configuration parameters that a user
applies to a cluster. For example, you can obtain the value that a user sets
for the
maxmemory-policyparameter. - Check information about nodes and shards: obtain information about the nodes and shards associated with a cluster. This includes the number of shards, the node type, and the number of replicas that each shard has.
- Confirm data resiliency settings: verify active persistence modes for Redis Database (RDB) snapshots and Append-Only File (AOF) log files, as well as the status of whether a cluster is protected from accidental deletion.
View summary information about a cluster
You can view summary information about a cluster by using either the Google Cloud console or the gcloud CLI .
Console
-
In the Google Cloud console, go to the Memorystore for Redis Clusterpage.
-
Click the ID of a cluster about which you want to view summary information.
gcloud
To view summary information about a cluster, use the gcloud redis clusters describe
command:
gcloud redis clusters describe CLUSTER_ID \ --region= REGION_ID
Make the following replacements:
- CLUSTER_ID : the ID of the cluster about which you want to view summary information
- REGION_ID : the region where the cluster is located
For example:
gcloud redis clusters describe my-cluster \ --region=us-central1
