Replacement for Sidekiq.redis_version in sidekiq-pro 7.0

Looks like this method has been removed in sidekiq-pro 7.0 so I am wondering if there is an alternative or a better way to verify the redis connection?

You can take the previous implementation and stash it somewhere as a utility method in your app code. I didn't want to provide a global API for it anymore. Or with redis_client, it's as simple as:

require "redis_client"
RedisClient.new.call("INFO").split.select {|line| line =~ /^redis_version/ }

I ended up using Sidekiq.redis(&:info) as used by health-monitor-rails
