StackExchange.Redis How to Connect to Sentinel

Question

I want to get notificated when a master changes

For this i wanted to connect to my sentinels but the connection Multiplexer tells me that the are not reachable.

What am I Doing wrong?

 ConnectionMultiplexer redis = ConnectionMultiplexer.Connect("localhost:26380,localhost:26381,localhost:26382");

You can try the (much) newer version of StackExchange.Redis which comes with sentinel mode feature. You can now connect in sentinel mode with connection string like this:

var conn = ConnectionMultiplexer.Connect("172.17.6.45:26379,serviceName=mymaster");

It will auto-discover current master and return a managed connection which will handle the failover for you. If you want to be notified for master change you can subscribe the ConnectionMultiplexer.ConfigurationChanged event.
