Redis Keys Statistics

Overview

redis-keys-statistics is a Python tool, designed for analyzing and reporting key usage statistics in Redis databases with exceptional speed and efficiency. By leveraging Lua scripting to reduce network I/O, it dramatically outperforms other open-source tools — tasks that typically take hours are completed in just minutes.

Features

• High Performance: Utilizes Lua scripting to minimize network I/O, delivering results significantly faster than traditional methods. Where some tools might take hours, redis-keys-statistics can complete the same task in a fraction of the time.
• Efficient Key Scanning: Uses the Redis SCAN command for batch scanning of keys, further optimizing performance.
• Memory Usage Statistics: Reports memory usage for keys in various units (B, KB, MB, GB).
• Top N Largest Keys: Quickly identifies the largest keys for memory optimization.
• Key Count by Type: Provides a breakdown of keys by type for better data structure insights.
• Prefix-Based Analysis: Analyzes keys based on prefixes to understand namespace usage.
• Cluster Support: Compatible with Redis clusters, including replica-only analysis.
• Readable Output: Formatted and easy-to-read statistical tables using prettytable.

Installation

pip install rks

Usage

Execute the script with the necessary Redis connection parameters:

rks --host <REDIS_HOST> --port <REDIS_PORT> [--password <REDIS_PASSWORD>]

For detailed usage options:

rks --help

Command Line Interface

usage: rks [-h] --host HOST --port PORT [--password PASSWORD] [--cluster] [--batch_size BATCH_SIZE] [--replica_only] [--pretty_format]

Analyze Redis Instance Key Statistics.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --host HOST           Redis host
  --port PORT           Redis port
  --password PASSWORD   Redis password
  --cluster             Enable cluster mode
  --batch_size BATCH_SIZE
                        Batch size for SCAN command
  --replica_only        Execute only on replica instances
  --pretty_format       Display output in a human-readable format

Example Output

Here is an example of what the output from redis-keys-statistics might look like:
