Redis Notification Settings
This page documents settings for configuring a Redis service as a target for Bucket Notifications. See Publish Events to Redis for a tutorial on using these settings.
You can establish or modify settings by defining:
an environment variable on the host system prior to starting or restarting the MinIO Server. Refer to your operating system’s documentation for how to define an environment variable.
a configuration setting using
mc admin config set.a configuration setting using the MinIO Console’s Administrator > Settings pages.
If you define both an environment variable and the similar configuration setting, MinIO uses the environment variable value.
Some settings have only an environment variable or a configuration setting, but not both.
Important
Each configuration setting controls fundamental MinIO behavior and functionality. MinIO strongly recommends testing configuration changes in a lower environment, such as DEV or QA, before applying to production.
Multiple Redis Targets
You can specify multiple Redis service endpoints by appending a unique identifier _ID to the end of the top level key for each set of related Redis settings.
For example, the following commands set two distinct Redis service endpoints as PRIMARY and SECONDARY respectively:
set MINIO_NOTIFY_REDIS_ENABLE_PRIMARY="on"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_REDIS_REDIS_ADDRESS_PRIMARY="redis-endpoint.example.net:9200"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_REDIS_KEY_PRIMARY="bucketevents"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_REDIS_FORMAT_PRIMARY="namespace"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_REDIS_ENABLE_SECONDARY="on"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_REDIS_REDIS_ADDRESS_SECONDARY="redis-endpoint2.example.net:9200"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_REDIS_KEY_SECONDARY="bucketevents"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_REDIS_FORMAT_SECONDARY="namespace"
mc admin config set notify_redis:primary \
address="redis-endpoint.example.net:9200" \
key="bucketevents" \
format="namespace" \
[ARGUMENT="VALUE"] ... \
mc admin config set notify_redis:secondary \
address="redis-endpoint2.example.net:9200" \
key="bucketevents" \
format="namespace" \
[ARGUMENT="VALUE"] ...
Settings
Enable
Required
Specify on to enable publishing bucket notifications to a Redis service endpoint.
Defaults to off.
Requires specifying the following additional environment variables if set to on:
The top-level configuration key for defining an Redis server/broker endpoint for use with MinIO bucket notifications.
Use mc admin config set to set or update an Redis server/broker endpoint.
The following arguments are required for each endpoint:
Specify additional optional arguments as a whitespace (" ")-delimited list.
mc admin config set notify_redis \
address="ENDPOINT" \
key="<string>" \
format="<string>" \
[ARGUMENT="VALUE"] ... \
Address
Required
Specify the Redis service endpoint to which MinIO publishes bucket events.
For example, redis.example.com:6369.
Changed in version RELEASE.2023-05-27T05-56-19Z: MinIO checks the health of the specified URL (if it is resolvable and reachable) prior to adding the target. MinIO no longer blocks adding new notification targets if existing targets are offline.
Key
Required
Specify the Redis key to use for storing and updating events. Redis auto-creates the key if it does not exist.
Format
Required
Specify the format of event data written to the Redis service endpoint. MinIO supports the following values:
namespaceFor each bucket event, MinIO creates a JSON document with the bucket and object name from the event as the document ID and the actual event as part of the document body. Additional updates to that object modify the existing index entry for that object. Similarly, deleting the object also deletes the corresponding index entry.
accessFor each bucket event, MinIO creates a JSON document with the event details and appends it to the key with a Redis-generated random ID. Additional updates to an object result in new index entries, and existing entries remain unmodified.
Password
Optional
Specify the password for the Redis server.
Changed in version RELEASE.2023-06-23T20-26-00Z: MinIO redacts this value when returned as part of mc admin config get.
User
Optional
New in version RELEASE.2024-03-21T23-13-43Z.
Specify the user for the Redis server.
Queue Directory
Optional
Specify the directory path to enable MinIO’s persistent event store for undelivered messages, such as /opt/minio/events.
MinIO stores undelivered events in the specified store while the Redis server/broker is offline and replays the stored events when connectivity resumes.
Queue Limit
Optional
Specify the maximum limit for undelivered messages.
Defaults to 100000.
Comment
Optional
Specify a comment to associate with the Redis configuration.
