# Redis DevTools

**Redis visibility, now with a DevTools-style workflow.**

Qtap DevTools now includes a **Redis panel** so you can inspect Redis commands and responses in real time, directly from your browser. You get the same fast troubleshooting loop as HTTP DevTools, but for cache traffic: command, arguments, response, latency, and process attribution in one place.

**Released:** Feb 13, 2025

{% hint style="success" %}
**Available Now**: Redis DevTools is included in the latest qtap release with DevTools enabled.

## What's New

### Redis Panel in DevTools

A dedicated Redis view for live Redis traffic on the host you're debugging.

### Full Command Inspection

See each operation with details like:

* Command (`GET`, `SET`, `HSET`, `LRANGE`, etc.)
* Arguments and key usage
* Response type and value
* Per-command latency

### Process & Container Attribution

Know exactly which binary, process, and container made each Redis call.

### Real-Time Troubleshooting

Watch Redis traffic stream in as it happens and quickly isolate bad keys, command spikes, or unexpected writes.

***

## Why It Matters

Redis issues are often hard to debug under pressure:

* Cache misses causing latency spikes
* Wrong key patterns across services
* Sensitive values accidentally cached
* Hard-to-trace cross-container access

Redis DevTools gives you immediate, host-local visibility without adding application logging or restarting services.

***

## Common Use Cases

* **Incident response:** Find the exact command sequence causing failures
* **Performance debugging:** Spot expensive or high-frequency Redis operations
* **Security review:** Verify what data is being read/written to Redis
* **Service attribution:** Identify which workload is touching critical keys
