Data Management (DMS) is a browser-based tool that connects to a Tair (Redis OSS-compatible) instance without requiring a local client installation. Use DMS when you need a quick GUI connection from a browser to run commands, inspect keys, or perform administrative tasks.
DMS is an all-in-one data management service that supports a variety of relational and NoSQL databases. The service offers features such as data management, schema management, user authorization, security audit, data trend analysis, and data tracking. For more information, see What is DMS?
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure that you have:
An ApsaraDB for Redis instance in the Running state
A database account and its password, or passwordless access enabled for your virtual private cloud (VPC)
Limitations
DMS does not support all Redis commands. For the full list, see Supported Redis commands.
If Transport Layer Security (TLS) is enabled on the instance, DMS cannot connect directly. To use DMS with TLS enabled, register the instance in the DMS console and enable SSL in the Advanced Information section. For details, see Register an ApsaraDB instance.
Connect to an instance
Log on to the console and go to the Instances page. In the top navigation bar, select the region where your instance resides. Find the instance and click its ID.
In the upper-right corner of the page, click Log On to Database.
In the DMS console, select a logon method.
Access mode Description Account + Password Logon (Recommended) Enter a database account and its password. By default, each instance has a database account named after the instance ID (for example, r-bp10noxlhcoim2****). The password was set when you created the instance. To create additional accounts, see Create and manage accounts.Passwordless Logon Skip password entry if passwordless access is enabled for your VPC. For details, see Enable passwordless access for a VPC. Password Logon Enter the password set at instance creation. This password belongs to the default account named after the instance ID. NoteIf you forgot the password, reset it before proceeding. For details, see Change or reset a password.
Click Logon. If the DMS server IP address is not in the instance whitelist, a dialog box appears. Click Set Whitelist. The system automatically creates a whitelist group named
ali_dms_groupand adds the DMS server IP address to it.On the SQLConsole tab, enter and run commands. For example, run
DBSIZEto get the number of keys in the current database. For the full list of supported commands, see Command overview.
Troubleshooting
`ERR invalid password.` after a previously successful logon
DMS saves credentials after the first successful logon. This error appears when the account password has changed since then. In the DMS Database Instance list, right-click the instance and select Edit Instance. Update the Database Password field with the new password and try again.
`java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out TraceId`
When you log on using the instance ID, DMS connects to the default VPC endpoint on port 6379. This error occurs if the endpoint or port has changed. In the Database Instance list, right-click the instance and select Edit Instance. Set Registration Method to Connection String Address, enter the updated endpoint, and try again.
