Connecting to redis sentinel troubleshooting

[bendpx]

I'm trying to use this configuration for a sentinal connection

var REDIS_CONFIG = {
    sentinels: [{ host: 'redis-1', port: 26379},
                { host: 'redis-2', port: 26379},
                { host: 'redis-3', port: 26379}],
    name: 'redismastert',
    db: 0
};

var REDIS_CLIENT = new Redis(REDIS_CONFIG);

But connection fail to establish due to:

info: connected to sentinel redis-1:26379 successfully, but got a invalid reply: null
info: connected to sentinel redis-2:26379 successfully, but got a invalid reply: null
info: connected to sentinel redis-3:26379 successfully, but got a invalid reply: null

what is this invalid reply and how can i solve it?

thanks luin, love this library

It's because sentinel nodes didn't return the master address.
Could you please use redis-cli to connect to one of the sentinel and see what does it return?

$ redis-cli -h redis-1 -p 26379
redis-1:26379> sentinel get-master-addr-by-name redismastert

I guess you misspelled the master name which should be redismaster instead of redismastert
