Hi everyone,

I would like to know it there is some way to configure **Redis Module** when we have authentication in **Redis** like in **MySQL Module**.

```
metricbeat.modules:
- module: redis
  metricsets: ["info"]
  enabled: true
  period: 10s

  # Redis hosts
  hosts: ["127.0.0.1:6379"]

```

In **MySQL** with authentication:

> hosts: ["root:secret@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/"]

Thanks in advance,

Regards

Hi Rodrigo,

Sounds like you're looking for password-based authentication?

Hi Giuseppe,

My aim is to carry out a monitoring on **Redis** by using **Redis Module** ([Link](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-module-redis.html)) , not send the _Metricbeat's documents/metrics_ to a **Redis** which it has a _password-based authentication_. However, if one use **Metricbeat** in order to monitoring a **Redis** where there is a authentication password, in the log. it gives back an error.

Thanks in advance 😃

Regards

The password option is there, it is/was just not documented. @giuseppe just fixed that: [https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/3756](https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/3756)
