Question

How do I pull metrics for monitoring without API from a Redis Enterprise Cluster?

Answer

To pull metrics from the cluster, there is already a "metrics exporter" solution that does not require using API. All the available metrics can be pulled from the cluster using port 8070. Put a URL in the browser:

https://<CLUSTER_FQDN>:8070

to get the metrics. Using curl works too.

https://curl -k <CLUSTER_FQDN>:8070

This same endpoint can be used by other monitoring tools for scraping to obtain metrics.
