Redis

One of the persistent storage options for the Inspector is built on top of Redis. The Redis Store offers effortless and cost-effective storage suitable for a wide range of use cases.

Configuration

  • defaultExpire: number: Optional expiration time to be applied to entries without a set expiration (in milliseconds).
  • keyPrefix: string: The prefix applied to all keys within Redis.
  • partitionSize: number: The duration of each partition (in milliseconds, default is 4 hours).
  • redis: RedisClient: The RedisClient instance from the ioredis package.

Data Partitioning

Data stored in Redis is organized into partitions based on the entry timestamp. Each partition represents a “sorted set” containing individual entries within its time boundary. This approach enables rapid lookups and efficient data expiration.

The size of each partition is determined by the configuration parameter partitionSize.
