Azure Cache for Redis Monitoring Integration
Azure Cache for Redis is a fully managed caching service with high security and scalability to store in-memory data for quicker retrieval, improving an application's performance.
With Site24x7's integration, you can now monitor your Azure Cache for Redis, configure thresholds, and receive alerts about critical issues.

Threshold configuration
Global configuration
- In the Site24x7 web client, go to the Admin section on the left navigation pane.
- Select Configuration Profiles from the left pane and select the Threshold and Availability (+) tab from the drop-down menu.
- Click Add Threshold Profile in the top-right corner.
- For Monitor Type, select Azure Cache for Redis.
You can now set the threshold values for all the metrics listed above.
Monitor-level configuration
- In the Site24x7 web client, go to Cloud > Azure and select Azure Cache for Redis from the drop-down menu.
- Choose a resource you would like to set a threshold for, then click the hamburger icon
. - Select Edit, which directs you to the Edit Azure Cache for Redis Monitor page.
- You can set the threshold values for the metrics by selecting Threshold and Availability.
You can also configure IT Automation at the attribute level.
IT Automation
Site24x7 offers a set of exclusive IT Automation tools that automatically resolve performance degradation issues. These tools react to events proactively rather than waiting for manual intervention.
