ElastiCache Valkey
Amazon ElastiCache for Valkey is a managed in-memory data store compatible with the Valkey open-source engine. AWS supports provisioned node-based caches and serverless caches. Ensure your cloud platform is configured in SolarWinds Observability SaaS to collect this service's data. See Add an AWS cloud account. CloudWatch metrics must also be enabled for this service in the AWS Console for the metric data to be available.
Many of the collected metrics from ElastiCache Redis entities are displayed as widgets in SolarWinds Observability explorers. Additional metrics may be collected and available in the Metrics Explorer. You can also create an alert for when an entity's metric value moves out of a specific range. See Entities in SolarWinds Observability SaaS for information about entity types in SolarWinds Observability SaaS.
