Vantage connects to Redis using an Account API Key and a User API Key to ingest cost data through the Redis REST API. Usage data is available for Redis and is measured in units such as Month or Hour, depending on service and usage category. You can connect multiple Redis accounts by providing separate API keys for each. Each account will be tracked independently within Vantage.

​
Redis Permissions

Vantage uses your Redis API keys to generate and download cost reports only. Vantage does not create, modify, or delete Redis databases, subscriptions, or account settings.

​
Connect Your Redis Account

​
Prerequisites

  • You must have a Vantage Organization Owner or Integration Owner role to add or remove this integration. See the Role-Based Access Control documentation for details.
  • You must be an Account Owner in order to create API Keys in Redis.
  • You should use a dedicated user with the Viewer role in order to create User API keys. The Vantage integration will still work with any role higher than Viewer, such as Owner, but this is not recommended.
  • It’s best practice to create a dedicated User API Key for Vantage and rotate it according to your security policy.
  • Create a free Vantage account, then follow the steps below to integrate Redis costs.

​
Create the Connection

​
Step 1 - Get Redis API Keys

1
Log in to the Redis console.
2
From the left navigation, open Access Management and select the API Keys tab.
3
If Redis shows an Enable API button for your account, click it to enable REST API access.
Redis Access Management API Keys
4
In the API account key section, copy the Account API Key.
5
In the API user keys section, click Add to create a new User API Key.
Redis API user keys section
6
Enter a key name and select the user the key should be associated with.The selected user should have an Owner or Viewer role so the key can be used to generate cost reports.
7
Click Create, then copy the generated User API Key.
Redis only shows the User API Key value once. Save it securely before closing the dialog.
If you use a CIDR allow list on the User API Key, you will need to add each of the following Vantage IPs to ensure connectivity:
54.87.66.45
3.95.43.133
54.162.3.72
44.199.143.63
3.218.103.23

​
Step 2 - Add the Keys to Vantage

1
From the top navigation in Vantage, click Settings.
2
On the left navigation, select Integrations > Redis.
3
The Redis integrations page is displayed. Ensure you are on the Connect tab.
4
At the bottom of the page, click Add API Keys.
5
Enter the following values:
  • Description: A friendly name for this Redis connection
  • Account API Key: The Redis account key
  • User API Key: The Redis user key
6
Click Connect Account.
After clicking Connect Account, the integration status changes to Importing while Vantage ingests your Redis cost data. When the integration is first connected, Vantage ingests up to six months of historical Redis cost and usage data. See the Integration Status documentation for details.
As soon as costs are processed, they will be available on your All Resources Cost Report. If you remove the Redis integration from Vantage, all associated Redis costs will be removed from the Vantage console.

​
Next Steps - Manage Workspace Access

Once the import is complete and the integration status changes to Stable, you can select which workspaces this integration is associated with. See the Workspaces documentation for information.

​
Data Refresh

See the provider data refresh documentation for information on when data for each provider refreshes in Vantage.

​
Redis Reporting Dimensions

On Redis Cost Reports, you can filter and group across several dimensions:
  • Billing Account (the Redis account name shown in billing data)
  • Account (the Redis account ID)
  • Service (e.g., Redis Pro, Redis Essentials)
  • Category (e.g., Databases)
  • Subcategory (e.g., Caching)
  • Region (e.g., us-east-1)
  • Resource (the Redis resource or subscription name associated with the charge)
  • Charge Type (e.g., Usage, Purchase, Adjustment, Discount)
  • Tags: Includes native Redis tags, Virtual Tags created in Vantage for this provider, and the following provider tags that Vantage automatically creates from Redis billing data:
    • redis_cloud:charge_description: The billing line-item description
    • redis_cloud:resource_type: The type of billed Redis resource
    • redis_cloud:resource_id: The underlying Redis resource ID when present
    • redis_cloud:resource_name: The Redis resource name when present
    • redis_cloud:availability_zone: The availability zone when present in the source data
    • redis_cloud:billing_period_start: The start date of the billing period
