Redis CLI not showing recently stored key via Laravel

Question

I am trying to cache my results using redis in Laravel by doing this

$result =   Cache::remember('orders_cache', 10, function () use ($orders) {
           return $orders;
        });
        return $result;

When I go in my Redis-Cli and do KEYS *, I don't see orders_cache key there. I have set the cache_driver to redis in my .env and I also ran the command php artisan config:cache. I have also installed predis package using composer as well.

My Dev environment is:

• PHP7.4
• Ubuntu 20
• Laravel 6.0
• Redis 5.0.7

Any help on this would be appreciated. TIA

Redis instance supports 16 logical databases and numbered from 0 to 15, by default by runnig redis-cli you connect to database 0. you can take advantage of the Redis INFO command to show databases that contain keys and also another more info like:

db0:keys=1,expires=0,avg_ttl=0
db1:keys=2,expires=2,avg_ttl=2462100

That in may case, I have 2 database. now you can change the database you’re using with the select command after you connect. for example:

select 1

and it will return OK if the switch is successful. now you can see your laravel keys.
