Telemetry integration for event tracing, metrics, and logging.

Redix connections (both Redix and Redix.PubSub) execute the following Telemetry events:

• [:redix, :connection] - executed when a Redix connection establishes the connection to Redis. There are no measurements associated with this event. Metadata are:

  • :connection - the PID of the Redix connection that emitted the event.
  • :connection_name - the name (passed to the :name option when the connection is started) of the Redix connection that emitted the event. nil if the connection was not registered with a name.
  • :address - the address the connection successfully connected to.
  • :reconnection - a boolean that specifies whether this was a first connection to Redis or a reconnection after a disconnection. This can be useful for more granular logging.

• [:redix, :disconnection] - executed when the connection is lost with the Redis server. There are no measurements associated with this event. Metadata are:

  • :connection - the PID of the Redix connection that emitted the event.
  • :connection_name - the name (passed to the :name option when the
  • :address - the address the connection was connected to. connection is started) of the Redix connection that emitted the event. nil if the connection was not registered with a name.
  • :reason - the disconnection reason as a Redix.ConnectionError struct.

• [:redix, :failed_connection] - executed when Redix can't connect to the specified Redis server, either when starting up the connection or after a disconnection. There are no measurements associated with this event. Metadata are:

  • :connection - the PID of the Redix connection that emitted the event.
  • :connection_name - the name (passed to the :name option when the connection is started) of the Redix connection that emitted the event. nil if the connection was not registered with a name.
  • :address or :sentinel_address - the address the connection was trying to connect to (either a Redis server or a Redis Sentinel instance).
  • :reason - the disconnection reason as a Redix.ConnectionError struct.

Redix connections execute the following Telemetry events when commands or pipelines of any kind are executed.

• [:redix, :pipeline, :start] - executed right before a pipeline (or command, which is a pipeline with just one command) is sent to the Redis server. Measurements are:

  • :system_time (integer) - the system time (in the :native time unit) at the time the event is emitted. See System.system_time/0.

  Metadata are:

  • :connection - the PID of the Redix connection used to send the pipeline.
  • :connection_name - the name of the Redix connection used to sent the pipeline. This is nil if the connection was not registered with a name or if the pipeline function was called with a PID directly (for example, if you did Process.whereis/1 manually).
  • :commands - the commands sent to the server. This is always a list of commands, so even if you do Redix.command(conn, ["PING"]) then the list of commands will be [["PING"]].
  • :extra_metadata - any term set by users via the :telemetry_metadata option in Redix.pipeline/3 and other functions.

• [:redix, :pipeline, :stop] - executed a response to a pipeline returns from the Redis server, regardless of whether it's an error response or a successful response. Measurements are:

  • :duration - the duration (in the :native time unit, see System.time_unit/0) of back-and-forth between client and server.

  Metadata are:

  • :connection - the PID of the Redix connection used to send the pipeline.
  • :connection_name - the name of the Redix connection used to sent the pipeline. This is nil if the connection was not registered with a name or if the pipeline function was called with a PID directly (for example, if you did Process.whereis/1 manually).
  • :commands - the commands sent to the server. This is always a list of commands, so even if you do Redix.command(conn, ["PING"]) then the list of commands will be [["PING"]].
  • :extra_metadata - any term set by users via the :telemetry_metadata option in Redix.pipeline/3 and other functions.

  If the response is an error, the following metadata will also be present:

  • :kind - the atom :error.
  • :reason - the error reason (such as a Redix.ConnectionError struct).

More events might be added in the future and that won't be considered a breaking change, so if you're writing a handler for Redix events be sure to ignore events that are not known. All future Redix events will start with the :redix atom, like the ones above.

A default handler that logs these events appropriately is provided, see attach_default_handler/0. Otherwise, you can write your own handler to instrument or log events, see the Telemetry page in the docs.
