Monitor Redis RESP Protocol Server in Windows

NCache RESP Server processes Redis client requests through the NCache cache host. You can monitor cache availability, server-side performance counters, throughput, and resource utilization using existing NCache monitoring tools. These tools report overall cache and server activity, including operations performed through RESP, but do not provide Redis client-specific activity statistics.

Using NCache Management Center

NCache Management Center provides graphical and tabular dashboards for monitoring cache status, server activity, and performance counters. These views help assess the cache serving Redis applications, although the counters are not necessarily specific to RESP traffic. For monitoring procedures, refer to:

Using Windows Performance Monitor

Windows Performance Monitor (PerfMon) displays NCache performance counters for running caches. Counters such as Count, Requests/sec, Fetches/sec, and Updates/sec help you examine overall cache contents and server-side activity, including operations performed through RESP. For counter descriptions and procedures, refer to:

Using PowerShell

NCache PowerShell cmdlets can retrieve cache server statistics and support periodic collection of performance data. Use these tools to inspect server-side cache behavior from the command line or incorporate monitoring into administrative scripts. For available commands and examples, refer to:

Note

The Get-CacheClientStatistics PowerShell cmdlet does not support Redis clients connected through NCache RESP Server.

Using Logs and Windows Event Viewer

NCache logs record cache and service activity, warnings, and errors. On Windows, the default log directory is %NCHOME%\log-files, unless a different location has been configured. Windows Event Viewer provides additional information about service and cache lifecycle events. For log types and troubleshooting procedures, refer to:

Using Third-Party Tools

NCache supports external monitoring tools for collecting and visualizing cache performance counters. These integrations can help consolidate server-side cache activity with infrastructure metrics, subject to edition and deployment support. For supported integration procedures, refer to:

Diagnostics and Alerts

If Redis applications experience connection failures or unexpected cache behavior, use NCache diagnostic tools to investigate server health and cluster availability. NCache alerts can also report important cache and service events. For additional guidance, refer to:

Note

Native NCache client connectivity diagnostics and counters may not directly apply to third-party Redis libraries. For Redis connections, also verify the configured RESP endpoint, TCP port, protocol version, and security settings.
