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

Last Updated:Oct 20, 2025

A Redis instance is considered non-compliant if its average connection usage is at or above a specified value for at least 8 hours within a time range. The default time range is the last 7 days. This rule does not apply if a Redis instance is not connected to Cloud Monitor, has no monitoring data, or is a cluster instance. The check uses the Cloud Monitor API to retrieve monitoring data. This consumes the free quota of basic Cloud Monitor. To ensure detection quality, enable Hybrid Cloud Monitoring. For more information about billing for Hybrid Cloud Monitoring, see the Cloud Monitor billing documentation.
