Redis

This section explains how to create a Redis data source in DataDios, create keys of all supported types, and verify automatic TTL-based key expiry.

---

Steps to Create and Manage a Redis Data Source

Step 1: Navigate to Data Sources

1. Navigate to the DataSources tab in DataDios

2. The listing page shows all existing data sources

   

---

Step 2: Select Redis Connector

1. Click + CREATE DS

2. From the list of available connector types, select Redis

   

---

Step 3: Fill Connection Details

In the Connection Details form, provide the required parameters:

• Host: Redis server hostname or IP address (e.g., localhost)

• Port: Redis server port (default: 6379)

• Password: Redis authentication password (leave empty if auth is disabled)

  

---

Step 4: Test Connection

1. After entering the details, click Test Connection

2. If the connection details are correct, the test will return Status: OK

   

---

Step 5: Save Data Source

1. If the test is successful, click Create to save the data source

2. You will be redirected to the Datasource Listing Page, where your Redis data source will appear

Step 6: Explore and Create Redis Keys

Click View Details on the Redis data source to open the key management page.

DataDios supports creating four Redis key types. Click + Create Item to open the creation form for each.

STRING Key

Stores a single string value. Optionally set a TTL (in seconds) for automatic expiry.

LIST Key

Stores an ordered list of string elements. Add one or more elements in the form.

HASH Key

Stores a map of field-value pairs. Add one or more field/value pairs in the form.

SET Key

Stores an unordered collection of unique string members. Add one or more members in the form.

STRING Key with TTL

To demonstrate TTL-based expiry, create a STRING key with a TTL value (e.g., 60 seconds). The key will automatically be deleted by Redis after the TTL elapses.

---

Step 7: Verify All Keys

After creating all keys, click Refresh to load the latest key list from Redis. All created keys appear in the listing.

---

Step 8: TTL Key Expiry

After the TTL elapses (60 seconds in this example), click Refresh again. The expired key is automatically removed by Redis and no longer appears in the list — while the four permanent keys remain intact.
