Cloud Config:Check the average connection usage of a Redis instance

Last Updated:Jun 22, 2026

A Redis instance is considered non-compliant if its average connection usage meets or exceeds a specified threshold for at least 8 hours within a given time range. The default time range is the last 7 days. This rule does not apply to cluster instances or instances that are not connected to Cloud Monitor or have no monitoring data. Detection relies on the Cloud Monitor API and consumes the free quota of basic Cloud Monitor. For better detection quality, we recommend that you enable Hybrid Cloud Monitoring. For billing details, see the Cloud Monitor billing documentation.

Threat level

Default threat level: Medium.

You can change the threat level as needed.
