Is it reasonable to store logs in redis?

Question

Redis

There is an API and it is necessary to record all API requests grouped by user_id. Now I am writing everything to radishes, but as it turned out, this is not an optimal log storage, since when the RAM under redis runs out, difficulties with writing / reading to radishes may begin. Is it so?

Answer 1

Yes, that's right, radish stores everything in memory, although it synchronizes to disk. Writing logs there is a bad idea. If using LIST, do LTRIM at least to clean up old logs and keep the last N entries. But it's better to transfer somewhere in logstash.net , for example

Answer 2

If the data is of an analytical nature, with "natural" indexes, then try looking at the mongo capped collection. The data itself will be "cleaned", and at the same time it is a quick access to the latest data.

Answer 3

I think it will help
