Monitoring Redis with fluentd

Question

I am using fluentd as my log concentrator for all my docker containers.

I would like to monitor my redis instance with the data from the info command (https://redis.io/commands/info) All the articles I can find uses redis as a log storage for other services. But I want to monitor the redis instance itself.

But I can not find a way to output the statistics to the docker logging system, except implementing my own solution. Anyone have a working setup to get statistics from redis into docker/fluentd?

Answer 1

How about built-in exec input plugin with a small script to parse the result of redis info command?
