Redsmin, cannot connect to redis instance

Question

I am running a redis server instance as Windows server and can successfully connect to the instance from the command line cient to 127.0.0.1:6379. However I cannot connect to the very same instance through Redsmin. Can you please tell me exactly what the

• Server Name
• Redis Instance Type
• Redis Connection string

is supposed to be? My server instance is not password protected.

Thanks

Answer 1

The server name is a logical name that will only be used to refer your server in Redsmin.

Since you got your own redis instance, you will want to add a "locally available" redis instance to Redsmin, see the docs.

And since you are on windows, the installation should be something like this (run these commands inside a powershell terminal)

npm install redsmin -g
REDSMIN_KEY=YOUR_REDSMIN_CONNECTION_KEY redsmin

In this case your Redis Connection string will be used as a value for RKEY.
