Redis Connections

TablePro connects to standalone Redis servers with hiredis. Keys are grouped by colon-separated namespaces in the sidebar. Values display with type-aware formatting in the data grid (strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, JSON).

​
Quick Setup

1

Create Connection

Click New Connection, select Redis, enter host/port/password/database, and click Create
2

Test Connection

Click Test Connection to verify

​
Connection Settings

Open URLs like redis://:password@host:6379/0 or rediss:// (TLS) from your browser. See Connection URL Reference.

​
Amazon ElastiCache (IAM)

Set Authentication to an AWS IAM mode (Access Key, Profile, or SSO) to connect to an IAM-enabled ElastiCache cache. TablePro generates a short-lived IAM auth token and uses it as the Redis password; the username is your IAM-enabled Redis user. Enter the AWS region and the cache name (replication group ID), and enable TLS, which ElastiCache IAM requires. Profiles resolve from ~/.aws/config and ~/.aws/credentials, including credential_process, SSO, and assumed roles.

​
SSL/TLS

Configure in the SSL/TLS pane of the connection form. Managed services like Upstash and Redis Cloud require TLS. Use rediss:// for URL imports. For untrusted-CA endpoints (Upstash, internal load balancers), pick Required (skip verify). For private CA setups, pick Verify CA and provide the CA certificate path. SNI is sent for every TLS mode; Verify Identity adds nothing over Verify CA on Redis.

Features

Namespace Browsing: Keys grouped by separator (default :) in sidebar tree. user:1, user:2 appear under user folder. Multi-level nesting supported (e.g., app:cache:session:1). Change separator in Advanced settings.
Redis keys grouped by namespace in the sidebar with values in the data grid

Keys grouped by namespace with type-aware values

Key-Value Viewing: String (plain text), Hash (key-value rows), List (with index), Set (individual rows), Sorted Set (with scores), JSON (syntax-highlighted). TTL Management: View TTL for each key. -1 = no expiration, -2 = doesn’t exist. Update TTL directly from interface. Key Filtering: Toggle the filter bar to search keys by pattern. Patterns use Redis glob syntax (* matches any sequence, ? matches one character, [ae] matches a character set) and are case-sensitive, the same as redis-cli. The type scope narrows results to one value type (String, Hash, List, Set, Sorted Set, Stream). Matching runs server-side with SCAN MATCH and SCAN TYPE across the whole keyspace, scanning up to 10,000 matching keys; a truncation indicator appears when more exist. Filtering by key value or TTL is not supported, since Redis has no server-side primitive for it. Redis CLI (execute commands directly):
Every command passes through to the server as-is, including ones TablePro does not recognize; only the result formatting is type-aware.

​
Troubleshooting

Connection refused: Check Redis is running (brew services start redis), verify correct port in redis.conf, check bind directive. Auth failed: Verify password matches requirepass in redis.conf. For Redis 6.0+ ACL: ACL SETUSER myuser on >password ~* +@all Timeout: Verify host/port, check network and firewall, whitelist IP for cloud-hosted Redis. Limitations: Cluster mode unsupported, Pub/Sub and Streams limited in grid (work in CLI), large keys paginated. Performance: Use namespace browsing for filtering, use SCAN instead of KEYS in CLI, check memory with INFO memory.
