Introduction to Redis Performance Testing and Redis-benchmark -

Overview

Redis-benchmark is an official Redis Performance Testing tool provided by Redis. It can effectively test the performance of Redis services. This topic describes the relevant information.

Details

Redis-benchmark instructions

The following table describes the Redis-benchmark parameters.

Usage: redis-benchmark [-h] [-p] [-c] [-n[-k]
 -h     Server hostname (default 127.0.0.1)
 -p     Server port (default 6379)
 -s     Server socket (overrides host and port)
 -c     Number of parallel connections (default 50)
 -n     Total number of requests (default 10000)
 -d      Data size of SET/GET value in bytes (default 2)
 -k      1=keep alive 0=reconnect (default 1)
 -r      Use random keys for SET/GET/INCR, random values for SADD
  Using this option the benchmark will get/set keys
  in the form mykey_rand:000000012456 instead of constant
  keys, the argument determines the max
  number of values for the random number. For instance
  if set to 10 only rand:000000000000 - rand:000000000009
  range will be allowed.
 -P       Pipelinerequests. Default 1 (no pipeline).
 -q       Quiet. Just show query/sec values
 --csv     Output in CSV format
 -l       Loop. Run the tests forever
 -t       Only run the comma-separated list of tests. The test
  names are the same as the ones produced as output.
 -I       Idle mode. Just open N idle connections and wait.

Sample statement

The following example shows how to use the Redis-benchmark command.

As shown in the following command, 100 concurrent connections and 100000 requests are used to detect the performance of Redis servers with 6379 ports.
```
redis-benchmark -h 192.X.X.201 -p 6379 -c 100 -n 100000
```
As shown in the following command, test the performance of obtaining packets with a size of 100 bytes.
```
redis-benchmark -h X.X.X.X -p 6379 -q -d 100
```
As shown in the following command, only the performance of some operations is tested.
```
redis-benchmark -t set,lpush -n 100000 -q
```
As shown in the following command, only the performance of partial numerical access is tested.
```
redis-benchmark -n 100000 -q script load "redis.call('set','foo','bar')"
```

Example

Run the following command to perform the test:
```
redis-benchmark -h X.X.X.X -p 18000 -c 5000 -n 100000 -q
```
If an output similar to the following one is displayed, Python is installed.
Run the netstat -an command to check whether there are many ports related to Redis. If there are many connections, restart the ApsaraDB for Redis instance and release the connections. Then, test again.
