Can I monitor multiple redis instances on a single host with a single metricbeat setup?

Or should I run multiple instances of metricbeat with one config for each redis instance?

It is possible to monitor multiple instances of Redis on the same host. You just need to add the hosts to the list of `hosts`: `hosts: ["127.0.0.1:6379", "127.0.0.1:1234"]`

Config example:

```auto
metricbeat.modules:
- module: redis
  metricsets: ["info", "keyspace"]
  period: 10s

  # Redis hosts
  # See how multiple hosts are specified
  hosts: ["127.0.0.1:6379", "127.0.0.1:1234"]

```
