Modules add additional functionality to Redis databases for specific use cases. You can enable modules when you create a database.

Prerequisites

Create a database with a module

Note:
You can only add modules to a database when you first create it. You cannot add modules to an existing database.

In the Redis Enterprise admin console, follow these steps to add modules to a database:

  1. From the databases page, select the Add button to create a new database:

    The Add icon

  2. Confirm that you want to create a new Redis database with the Next button.

  3. Configure the database settings.

  4. For Redis Modules:

      The Add icon

    2. Select the module from the Module dropdown list.

    3. To use custom configuration with a module, select Add configuration and enter the configuration options.

    4. Select the OK button to confirm that you want to enable the module:

      The Save icon

    5. Repeat these steps to add additional modules to the database.

      Note:
      You cannot use RediSearch 1.x and RediSearch 2.x in the same database.

  5. Select Show advanced options and enter a port number for the database, such as 12543.

    Note:
    Depending on the features supported by an enabled module, certain database configuration fields may not be available.
