Hello there!

Is it possible to add Redis as a datasource to PMM? I couldn’t add it at PMM but I could add it at Prometheus before. Any help acceptable 😉

Hello @Cihan_Tunali,  
Redis is not a supported database for PMM. PMM only supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB.

Hi there!  
I could successfully add Redis as a datasource to PMM via [Redis plugin for Grafana | Grafana Labs](https://grafana.com/grafana/plugins/redis-datasource/) link. Thanks!

Hey @Cihan_Tunali,  
Just be aware that this is unsupported within PMM. Also, if/when you upgrade PMM, you may need to reinstall this plugin since it is not part of our container image.
