(UNMAINTAINED) A real-time Redis monitoring tool

redis-stat is a terminal and browser-based Redis monitor that polls INFO instead of MONITOR, so it doesn't tank your Redis performance the way naive monitoring tools do. It supports multiple instances side-by-side, CSV export, and an embedded web dashboard with Server-sent events. The project has been unmaintained since 2016 and the author says so clearly in the repo name.

Uses INFO not MONITOR — the right call for production monitoring without noticeable overhead. Multi-instance support in a single terminal view is genuinely useful for cluster operators. The JAR distribution was a thoughtful touch that let non-Ruby shops run it without a Ruby environment. SSE-based web dashboard meant no polling hacks — clean push updates.

Dead since 2016, no question. Bootstrap 2 and jQuery 1.8 in the web UI; the dashboard would look dated even if it still worked. No Redis 3+ metrics are tracked — things like memory fragmentation ratio, active-defrag stats, or stream lag didn't exist yet and never got added. The killall -9 redis-stat-daemon approach to daemon management is a sign of the era, not a design choice.
