golang redis client connection status

Question

After creting a new Redis client, is there a way to check the status of the connection?

As a way to ensure that the Sentinel is in a healthy state, a status check after instantiation would be ideal.

Answer 1

Some client libraries offer a Ping() method that executes Redis' PING command to check the status of the connection:

redisClient := redis.NewClient(...)
if err := redisClient.Ping(ctx).Err(); err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
