Redis Enterprise Overview

Redis Enterprise is a self-managed database platform that can be deployed on-premises or in your cloud account. redisctl provides comprehensive access to the Redis Enterprise REST API.

Redis Enterprise uses basic authentication:

# Set credentials
export REDIS_ENTERPRISE_URL="https://cluster.example.com:9443"
export REDIS_ENTERPRISE_USER="admin@cluster.local"
export REDIS_ENTERPRISE_PASSWORD="your-password"
export REDIS_ENTERPRISE_INSECURE="true"  # For self-signed certificates

# Test connection
redisctl api enterprise get /v1/cluster
