• private_ip_address is the private IP address of the local node.
• primary_name is a name of the primary node. The name can include A-z, 0-9, and ".", "-", or "_"; the name
cannot include special characters or spaces.
• primary_ip_address is the private IP address of the primary node. On the primary node, private_ip_address
and primary_ip_address are the same.
• quorum is the number of Redis Sentinels that must agree that the primary is not reachable.
• down_time is the number of milliseconds after which a node is reported as failing.
• timeout is the number of seconds after which a failover process is started.
Redis Sentinel does not support logging to syslog; it must use a separate file.
For example:
port 26379
bind 10.0.213.131
sentinel monitor myprimary 10.0.114.111 31415 2
sentinel down-after-milliseconds myprimary 300
sentinel failover-timeout myprimary 1000
logfile "/opt/aspera/etc/redis-sentinel.log"
Save your changes and close the file.
5. On each node, configure HAProxy.
