check-redis-keys Checks the number of keys that match a key's command that are above the provided warn/critical levels.

check-redis-list-length Checks the number of items in a Redis list key.

check-redis-memory Checks Redis INFO stats and limits values.

check-redis-memory-percentage Checks Redis memory usage in percent.

check-redis-ping Runs Redis ping command to see if Redis is alive.

check-redis-slave-status Checks Redis slave Replication.

check-redis-connections-available Checks the number of connections available on Redis.

metrics-redis-graphite Pushes Redis INFO stats into graphite.

metrics-redis-keys Gets the number of keys and pushes it to Graphite.

metrics-redis-llen Gets the length of a list and pushes it to Graphite.
