Redis Notification Settings

Table of Contents

This page documents settings for configuring a Redis service as a target for Bucket Notifications <minio-bucket-notifications>. See minio-bucket-notifications-publish-redis for a tutorial on using these settings.

Multiple Redis Targets

You can specify multiple Redis service endpoints by appending a unique identifier _ID to the end of the top level key for each set of related Redis settings. For example, the following commands set two distinct Redis service endpoints as PRIMARY and SECONDARY respectively:

Environment Variables

set MINIO_NOTIFY_REDIS_ENABLE_PRIMARY="on"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_REDIS_REDIS_ADDRESS_PRIMARY="redis-endpoint.example.net:9200"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_REDIS_KEY_PRIMARY="bucketevents"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_REDIS_FORMAT_PRIMARY="namespace"


set MINIO_NOTIFY_REDIS_ENABLE_SECONDARY="on"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_REDIS_REDIS_ADDRESS_SECONDARY="redis-endpoint2.example.net:9200"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_REDIS_KEY_SECONDARY="bucketevents"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_REDIS_FORMAT_SECONDARY="namespace"

Configuration Settings

mc admin config set notify_redis:primary              \ 
   address="redis-endpoint.example.net:9200"  \
   key="bucketevents"                                 \
   format="namespace"                                 \
   [ARGUMENT="VALUE"] ...                             \

mc admin config set notify_redis:secondary            \
   address="redis-endpoint2.example.net:9200" \
   key="bucketevents"                                 \
   format="namespace"                                 \
   [ARGUMENT="VALUE"] ... 

Settings

Enable

Required

Environment Variable

MINIO_NOTIFY_REDIS_ENABLE

Specify on to enable publishing bucket notifications to a Redis service endpoint.

Defaults to off.

Requires specifying the following additional environment variables if set to on:

• MINIO_NOTIFY_REDIS_ADDRESS
• MINIO_NOTIFY_REDIS_KEY
• MINIO_NOTIFY_REDIS_FORMAT

Configuration Setting

notify_redis

The top-level configuration key for defining an Redis server/broker endpoint for use with MinIO bucket notifications <minio-bucket-notifications>.

Use mc admin config set to set or update an Redis server/broker endpoint. The following arguments are required for each endpoint:

• ~notify_redis.address
• ~notify_redis.key
• ~notify_redis.format

Specify additional optional arguments as a whitespace (" ")-delimited list.

mc admin config set notify_redis \ 
   address="ENDPOINT" \
   key="<string>" \
   format="<string>" \
   [ARGUMENT="VALUE"] ... \

Address

Required

Environment Variable

MINIO_NOTIFY_REDIS_ADDRESS

Configuration Setting

notify_redis address

Specify the Redis service endpoint to which MinIO publishes bucket events. For example, redis.example.com:6369.

Key

Required

Environment Variable

MINIO_NOTIFY_REDIS_KEY

Configuration Setting

notify_redis key

Specify the Redis key to use for storing and updating events. Redis auto-creates the key if it does not exist.

Format

Required

Environment Variable

MINIO_NOTIFY_REDIS_FORMAT

Configuration Setting

notify_redis format

Specify the format of event data written to the Redis service endpoint. MinIO supports the following values:

namespace

For each bucket event, MinIO creates a JSON document with the bucket and object name from the event as the document ID and the actual event as part of the document body. Additional updates to that object modify the existing index entry for that object. Similarly, deleting the object also deletes the corresponding index entry.

access

For each bucket event, MinIO creates a JSON document with the event details and appends it to the key with a Redis-generated random ID. Additional updates to an object result in new index entries, and existing entries remain unmodified.

Password

Optional

Environment Variable

MINIO_NOTIFY_REDIS_PASSWORD

Configuration Setting

notify_redis password

Specify the password for the Redis server.

RELEASE.2023-06-23T20-26-00Z

MinIO redacts this value when returned as part of mc admin config get.

User

Optional

RELEASE.2024-03-21T23-13-43Z

Environment Variable

MINIO_NOTIFY_REDIS_USER

Configuration Setting

notify_redis user

Specify the user for the Redis server.

Queue Directory

Optional

Environment Variable

MINIO_NOTIFY_REDIS_QUEUE_DIR

Configuration Setting

notify_redis queue_dir

Specify the directory path to enable MinIO's persistent event store for undelivered messages, such as /opt/minio/events.

MinIO stores undelivered events in the specified store while the Redis server/broker is offline and replays the stored events when connectivity resumes.

Queue Limit

Optional

Environment Variable

MINIO_NOTIFY_REDIS_QUEUE_LIMIT

Configuration Setting

notify_redis queue_limit

Specify the maximum limit for undelivered messages. Defaults to 100000.

Comment

Optional

Environment Variable

MINIO_NOTIFY_REDIS_COMMENT

Configuration Setting

notify_redis comment

Specify a comment to associate with the Redis configuration.
