Hi,

We build the log system using the infrastructure redis+logstsh+kibana. And we plan to monitor the performance of the redis instance using the packetbeat. The configure files looks like the following.

protocols:  
redis:

```
# Configure the ports where to listen for Redis traffic. You can disable
# the Redis protocol by commenting out the list of ports.
ports: [6379]

```

output:  
redis:  
enabled: true  
host: "localhost"  
port: 6379  
db: 4  
index: packetbeat  
save\_topology: True

With the above config, the packetbeat sniffs the traffic that reaches the redis and push an event to the same redis instances. I believe the event is recursively pushed to redis.

Is there a way to filter out the events published by redis? Or I should set up another dedicated redis instance to store the packetbeat events.

Right, I'd recommend using a second instance running on a different port (e.g. 6380).
