Redis Cloud emits a FOCUS-native cost report per subscription and database, so spend is attributed per resource across each usage period. CostGraph reads Redis Cloud as FOCUS 1.2 records at a grain of cost-report line item (subscription x database x usage period).

​
Choose how the data reaches us

CostGraph pulls it

You supply read-only credentials and we call Redis Cloud once a day. Nothing to run.

You push it

You send us FOCUS records over the API. Credentials never leave your infrastructure.

​
Before you begin

  • In the Redis Cloud console, go to Account Settings > API and enable the API. This gives you the account key.
  • Under API keys, create a user key. Both halves are required.

​
Let CostGraph pull

  1. Open Settings > Integrations and pick Redis Cloud.
  2. Name the connection and pick the tenant these charges belong to.
  3. Enter the account key and the user key. The account needs the Owner, Billing admin, or Viewer role.
  4. Select Connect.
CostGraph verifies the credentials with a short fetch before saving, so a wrong value or a missing permission fails while you are still on the form.
The FOCUS cost report is in limited availability on Redis Cloud; request access from Redis support if the report is not yet enabled on your account. Credentials are encrypted at rest and used only to read billing data. Revoke either key in Redis Cloud at any time and the connection stops; nothing else is affected.

​
Push it yourself

Send the cost report to CostGraph as FOCUS records instead. Push FOCUS data covers the connection id, the focus:write key, and the request shape.

​
Run the exporter

Rather than build that request yourself, run our exporter. It reads Redis Cloud on a schedule and pushes the records for you, wherever you want to run it: a container, a Kubernetes CronJob, or a binary on a machine you already have.
Your Redis Cloud credential stays where you put it, and only the finished FOCUS records reach CostGraph. Run the exporter covers the three ways to run it and the variables it reads.

​
What CostGraph does with it

Records land as raw billing rows, are normalised into line items, and roll up into daily cost. From there Redis Cloud spend appears in Cost Overview and in anomaly detection alongside every other provider.
