Documentation Helm charts Grafana mimir-distributed Helm chart Configure Redis cache

Configure Redis cache

Besides support for Memcached, Mimir also supports Redis for the chunks-cache, index-cache, results-cache and metadata-cache. To use Redis, deploy Redis instances, disable the built-in Memcached configuration flag in values.yaml of mimir-distributed Helm chart, and then configure Mimir to use Redis.

To disable Memcached, remove any chunks-cache, index-cache, metadata-cache and results-cache configuration from your Helm values.yaml file. Alternatively, explicitly disable each of the Memcached instances by setting enabled to false:

yaml Copy

chunks-cache:
  enabled: false
index-cache:
  enabled: false
metadata-cache:
  enabled: false
results-cache:
  enabled: false

Next, configure Mimir to connect to Redis using structuredConfig. Refer to the configuration parameters reference for Redis connection configuration options. For example:

yaml Copy

mimir:
  structuredConfig:
    blocks_storage:
      bucket_store:
        chunks_cache:
          backend: redis
          redis:
            endpoint: <redis-url>:6379
        index_cache:
          backend: redis
          redis:
            endpoint: <redis-url>:6379
        metadata_cache:
          backend: redis
          redis:
            endpoint: <redis-url>:6379
    frontend:
      cache_results: true
      results_cache:
        backend: redis
        redis:
          endpoint: <redis-url>:6379
