# Redis exporter
DETAILS:
**Tier:** Free, Premium, Ultimate
**Offering:** Self-managed
The [Redis exporter](https://github.com/oliver006/redis_exporter) enables you to measure
various [Redis](https://redis.io) metrics. For more information on what is exported,
[read the upstream documentation](https://github.com/oliver006/redis_exporter/blob/master/README.md#whats-exported).
For self-compiled installations, you must install and configure it yourself.
To enable the Redis exporter:
1. [Enable Prometheus](index.md#configuring-prometheus).
1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`.
1. Add (or find and uncomment) the following line, making sure it's set to `true`:
```ruby
redis_exporter['enable'] = true
```
1. Save the file and [reconfigure GitLab](../../restart_gitlab.md#reconfigure-a-linux-package-installation)
for the changes to take effect.
Prometheus begins collecting performance data from
the Redis exporter exposed at `localhost:9121`.
