rladmin is a command-line utility for performing administrative tasks such as failover, migration, and endpoint binding on a Redis Enterprise Software cluster. rladmin can also edit cluster and database configurations. Some of these tasks can also be performed through the admin console and some are unique to the rladmin CLI tool.

rladmin Commands

bind

rladmin bind manages the proxy policy for the cluster or a specific database. It also can include or exclude endpoints from the proxy policy.

rladmin bind 
        [ db <db:id | name> ] 
        endpoint <id> 
        policy <single | all-master-shards | all-nodes>
Proxy policy Description
all-master-shards Multiple proxies, one on each master node (best for high traffic and multiple master shards)
all-nodes Multiple proxies, one on each node of the cluster (increases traffic in the cluster, only used in special cases)
single All traffic flows through a single proxy bound to the database endpoint (preferable in most cases) 
rladmin bind 
        [ db <db:id | name> ] 
        endpoint <id> [ include | exclude ] 
        proxy <id1 .. idN>

redis_upgrade_policy When you upgrade or create a new Redis database, this policy determines which version of Redis database compatibility is used.

Supported values are:

  • latest, which applies the most recent Redis compatibility update (effective default prior to v6.2.4)

watchdog_profile Enables pre-configured watchdog profiles ( cloud or local-network)

Redis cluster watchdog supports two pre-configured profiles:

  • cloud profile is suitable for common cloud environments. It has a higher tolerance for network jitter.
  • local-networkprofile is suitable for dedicated LANs and has a better failure detection and failover times.

Use the rladmin shell

To open the rladmin shell:

  1. Login to the Redis Enterprise Software host with an account that is a member of the redislabs OS group.

    The rladmin binary is located in /opt/redislabs/bin. If you don’t have this directory in your PATH, you may want to add it. Otherwise, you can use bash -l <username> to log in as a user with permissions to that directory.

  2. Run: rladmin

    Note:
    If the CLI does not recognize the rladmin command, you run this command to load the needed configuration first: bash -l

In the rladmin shell you can:

  • Run a any rladmin command without prefacing it with rladmin.
  • Enter ? to view the full list of available commands.
  • Enter help followed by the name of a command for a detailed explanation of the command and its usage.
  • Press the Tab key for command completion.
  • Enter exit or press Ctl+D to return to your terminal prompt.
