Redis 4.x Cookbook

How to do it...

The steps for benchmarking are as follows:

1. You can find the executable file of the Redis benchmark tool under the bin/ directory:

$ ls bin/redis-benchmark 
bin/redis-benchmark 

2. To obtain the help information of this tool, just run it with the --help option:

$ bin/redis-benchmark  --help 
Usage: redis-benchmark [-h <host>] [-p <port>] [-c <clients>] [-n <requests>] [-k <boolean>] 
 
 -h <hostname>      Server hostname (default 127.0.0.1) 
 -p <port>          Server port (default 6379) 
 -s <socket>        Server socket (overrides host and port) 
... 
                    names are the same as the ones produced as output. 
 -I                 Idle mode. Just open N idle connections and wait.

3. Start benchmarking with the default configuration:

$ bin/redis-benchmark ====== PING_INLINE ====== 100000 ...
