The Azure Redis integration collects platform metrics and diagnostic logs from your Azure Cache for Redis instances. Once enabled, the SigNoz agent discovers Redis resources in your monitored resource groups and configures telemetry collection.
This integration collects platform metrics for the Microsoft.Cache/redisEnterprise resource type.
Getting started
Connect your Azure subscription first. See Azure One-Click Integrations for setup instructions.
Once connected:
- In SigNoz, navigate to Integrations > Microsoft Azure.
- Select Redis from the left panel.
- Toggle Log Collection and Metric Collection on.
The agent deploys the necessary Event Hubs and diagnostic settings in the background. Data starts flowing within a few minutes. Navigate to Dashboards and open the Azure Redis Overview dashboard to confirm metrics are appearing.

Dashboards
The integration includes a pre-built Azure Redis dashboard. Pre-built dashboards are locked and cannot be edited. To customize, use Export JSON from the dashboard menu and import it as a new dashboard.
Key panels include:
- CPU and server load
- Cache hits and misses
- Operations per second and connected clients
- Used memory and used memory percentage
- Total keys, evicted keys, and expired keys
- Geo replication healthy status
Next steps
- Create alerts to get notified on high server load, evictions, or memory saturation
- Build custom dashboards to correlate cache metrics with application performance
