How to check more detail Redis Azure connected to clients over 90%

Question

I saw resource Redis connected clients over 90%, How can we get more information logs such as User ID, Time login, Client IP,... In the picture below we just see the number of clients and no more details, does anyone have any idea for the investigation that?
Thank you for your help!

Answer 1

The full list of supported metrics for redis is here

As you can see, redis metrics don't have any dimensions for today (no User ID, Time login, Client IP). So, this capability isn't available per today per metrics.

Logs are good if you need more details (but as you can see, they have "IP address" property only) but require a Log Analytics Workspace to get and aggregate telemetry in most efficient and native way. But keep in mind - logs are paid, metrics are free.

Hi,
You can configure diagnostic settings and send logs from ConnectedClientList category to Log Analytics, Storage account or to Event Hub. Log Analytics is probably the best option for you as you can query the logs. Storage account option is more for archiving and Event Hub for third party integration. Unfortunately, the log exposes only connected IP addresses but not the user ID.
