I cant see the data in redis insight after caching

[Murchoid]

I am trying to monitor how I am doing caching in my app, but I cant see the data in redis insight,
however, when I log my activities in my api, to debug, I see indeed i get cache hits, but when i go to redis insight to monitor the caching its says I havent cached anything . I have tried refreshing but it still shows no data.
I have checked to see if I am the one using wrong connection string but the url is ok. Please help

@Murchoid , do you use database indexes in your Redis database?
If no, could you provide more details about your setup?

I'm experiencing a similar issue. I have keys where I store the logs and settings for some of my running applications. My key structure is as follows:

systems:systemA:settings:config (single json record)
systems:systemA:settings:uptime (single string record)
systems:systemA:logs (approximately 50,000 hash records)
systems:systemB:settings:config (single json record)
systems:systemB:settings:uptime (single string record)

In this table, systemB doesn't have any log records yet, while systemA has 50,000. When I query for systems:*, systemB doesn't show up at all.

It's being said that because there are so many records, the matching keys might not appear in the first batch.

However, when I search for "systems:systemB:settings:" or "systems:systemB:" or even "systems:systemA:settings:*", no records are returned. I know there are two records.

If I query "systems:systemA:settings:config," the key and its contents appear.

When I click the "Scan More" button, these two records appear sometimes, but not always.

@yagmuryagacak , when you scan using patterns (like *), Redis Insight scans in iterations of 10,000 keys at a time.
In this case, systems:systemB:settings:uptime just isn’t included in the current batch.
You can either continue scanning to load more keys or perform a direct lookup without patterns by specifying the full key name (e.g., systems:systemB:settings:config).

@ViktarStarastsenka thank you so much for responding, turns out that my caching configuration had a problem, I had a slight misconfiguration that created a bug that was very hard to find making it seem like I connected to redis but actually cached in my local memory and not the redis cloud hence the not seeing the data in redis insight.
