Redis Connections

TablePro supports Redis 6.0 and later. Keys are grouped by colon-separated namespaces in the sidebar. Values display with type-aware formatting in the data grid (strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, JSON).

​
Quick Setup

1

Create Connection

Click New Connection, select Redis, enter host/port/password/database, and click Create
2

Test Connection

Click Test Connection to verify

​
Connection Settings

Open URLs like redis://:password@host:6379/0 or rediss:// (TLS) from your browser. See Connection URL Reference.

​
Example Configurations

Local: host localhost:6379, no password Docker: host localhost:6379 (or mapped port), password from REDIS_PASSWORD env Redis Cloud: Requires SSL/TLS, enable in connection form Remote: Use SSH tunneling for production

​
Amazon ElastiCache (IAM)

Set Authentication to an AWS IAM mode (Access Key, Profile, or SSO) to connect to an IAM-enabled ElastiCache cache. TablePro generates a short-lived IAM auth token and uses it as the Redis password; the username is your IAM-enabled Redis user. Enter the AWS region and the cache name (replication group ID), and enable TLS, which ElastiCache IAM requires. Profiles resolve from ~/.aws/config and ~/.aws/credentials, including credential_process, SSO, and assumed roles.

​
SSL/TLS

Configure in the SSL/TLS pane of the connection form. Managed services like Upstash and Redis Cloud require TLS. Use rediss:// for URL imports. For untrusted-CA endpoints (Upstash, internal load balancers), pick Required (skip verify). For private CA setups, pick Verify CA or Verify Identity and provide the CA certificate path.

Features

Namespace Browsing: Keys grouped by separator (default :) in sidebar tree. user:1, user:2 appear under user folder. Multi-level nesting supported (e.g., app:cache:session:1). Change separator in Advanced settings. Key-Value Viewing: String (plain text), Hash (key-value rows), List (with index), Set (individual rows), Sorted Set (with scores), JSON (syntax-highlighted). TTL Management: View TTL for each key. -1 = no expiration, -2 = doesn’t exist. Update TTL directly from interface. Key Filtering: Toggle the filter bar to search keys by pattern. Patterns use Redis glob syntax (* matches any sequence, ? matches one character, [ae] matches a character set) and are case-sensitive, the same as redis-cli. The type scope narrows results to one value type (String, Hash, List, Set, Sorted Set, Stream). Matching runs server-side with SCAN MATCH and SCAN TYPE across the whole keyspace, scanning up to 10,000 matching keys; a truncation indicator appears when more exist. Filtering by key value or TTL is not supported, since Redis has no server-side primitive for it. Redis CLI (execute commands directly):
Supported Commands: String (GET, SET, INCR, DECR), Hash (HGET, HSET, HGETALL), List (LPUSH, RPUSH, LRANGE), Set (SADD, SMEMBERS), Sorted Set (ZADD, ZRANGE), Key (DEL, EXPIRE, SCAN), Server (PING, INFO). All commands sent to server.

​
Troubleshooting

Connection refused: Check Redis is running (brew services start redis), verify correct port in redis.conf, check bind directive. Auth failed: Verify password matches requirepass in redis.conf. For Redis 6.0+ ACL: ACL SETUSER myuser on >password ~* +@all Timeout: Verify host/port, check network and firewall, whitelist IP for cloud-hosted Redis. Limitations: Cluster mode unsupported, Pub/Sub and Streams limited in grid (work in CLI), large keys paginated. Performance: Use namespace browsing for filtering, use SCAN instead of KEYS in CLI, check memory with INFO memory.
