Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

🚀 What is StackSleuth Redis Agent?

Advanced Redis performance monitoring agent - Command-level tracking, memory usage analysis, connection pooling optimization, slow query detection, and real-time cache performance metrics.

✨ Key Features

  • 🔴 Command-level Tracking: Individual Redis command performance
  • 💾 Memory Usage Analysis: Redis memory optimization insights
  • 🔗 Connection Pool Monitoring: Connection efficiency tracking
  • 🐌 Slow Query Detection: Automatic slow command identification
  • 📊 Cache Hit/Miss Metrics: Cache performance optimization
  • 🔄 Real-time Monitoring: Live Redis performance insights
  • Multiple Client Support: Redis, ioredis, node_redis support
  • 🎯 Custom Metrics: Application-specific Redis monitoring

📦 Installation

# npm
npm install @stacksleuth/redis-agent

# yarn
yarn add @stacksleuth/redis-agent

# pnpm
pnpm add @stacksleuth/redis-agent
yarn add @stacksleuth/redis-agent
pnpm add @stacksleuth/redis-agent

🏁 Quick Start

import Redis from 'ioredis';
import { RedisAgent } from '@stacksleuth/redis-agent';

// Initialize Redis client
const redis = new Redis({
  host: 'localhost',
  port: 6379
});

// Initialize Redis agent
const agent = new RedisAgent({
  enabled: true,
  monitorCommands: true,
  trackMemory: true,
  slowQueryThreshold: 100 // ms
});

// Start monitoring
agent.startMonitoring();

// Instrument Redis client
agent.instrumentClient(redis);

// Your Redis operations are now monitored
await redis.set('key', 'value');
const value = await redis.get('key');

📖 Comprehensive Examples

Redis Monitoring Setup

import Redis from 'ioredis';
import { RedisAgent } from '@stacksleuth/redis-agent';

// Initialize Redis client
const redis = new Redis({
  host: 'localhost',
  port: 6379
});

// Initialize Redis agent
const agent = new RedisAgent({
  enabled: true,
  monitorCommands: true,
  trackMemory: true,
  slowQueryThreshold: 100
});

// Start monitoring
agent.startMonitoring();

// Instrument Redis client
agent.instrumentClient(redis);

// Your Redis operations are now monitored
await redis.set('user:123', JSON.stringify(userData));
const user = await redis.get('user:123');

Cache Performance Tracking

// Track cache hit/miss rates
class CacheService {
  async get(key) {
    const value = await redis.get(key);
    
    // Track cache metrics
    agent.recordMetric(value ? 'cache.hit' : 'cache.miss', 1, {
      keyPattern: key.split(':')[0]
    });
    
    return value;
  }
  
  async set(key, value, ttl = 3600) {
    await redis.setex(key, ttl, value);
    
    agent.recordMetric('cache.set', 1, {
      ttl,
      keyPattern: key.split(':')[0]
    });
  }
}

🎯 Real-World Usage

Production Configuration

const agent = new RedisAgent({
  enabled: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production',
  projectId: process.env.STACKSLEUTH_PROJECT_ID,
  apiKey: process.env.STACKSLEUTH_API_KEY,
  sampleRate: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ? 0.01 : 0.1,
  bufferSize: 1000,
  flushInterval: 10000
});

Monitoring Best Practices

  • Sampling Rate: Use lower sampling rates (1-5%) in production
  • Buffer Management: Configure appropriate buffer sizes for your traffic
  • Error Handling: Always include error context in your monitoring
  • Security: Never log sensitive data like passwords or API keys
  • Performance: Monitor the monitoring - track agent overhead

🛠️ Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Agent Not Starting

// Enable debug mode
const agent = new RedisAgent({
  enabled: true,
  debug: true
});

High Memory Usage

// Optimize memory usage
const agent = new RedisAgent({
  bufferSize: 500,
  flushInterval: 5000,
  sampleRate: 0.01
});

Missing Metrics

  • Check that the agent is enabled
  • Verify your API key and project ID
  • Ensure sampling rate allows data through
  • Check network connectivity to StackSleuth API
