# Redis exporter **(FREE SELF)**
2017-02-08 08:29:02 -05:00
The [Redis exporter](https://github.com/oliver006/redis_exporter) enables you to measure
various [Redis](https://redis.io) metrics. For more information on what is exported,
[read the upstream documentation](https://github.com/oliver006/redis_exporter/blob/master/README.md#whats-exported).

For installations from source you must install and configure it yourself.

To enable the Redis exporter:
1. [Enable Prometheus](index.md#configuring-prometheus).
1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`.
1. Add (or find and uncomment) the following line, making sure it's set to `true`:
2017-02-08 08:29:02 -05:00
```ruby
redis_exporter['enable'] = true
```
2017-02-08 08:29:02 -05:00
1. Save the file and [reconfigure GitLab](../../restart_gitlab.md#omnibus-gitlab-reconfigure)
for the changes to take effect.

Prometheus begins collecting performance data from
the Redis exporter exposed at `localhost:9121`.
