## What it is
BetterDB Monitor is a self-hostable observability platform for Valkey and Redis that persists slowlogs, command history, client analytics, and key size distributions, with real-time dashboards, anomaly detection, and Prometheus metrics. It deploys via Docker, Helm, or npm CLI, runs fully offline in air-gapped environments, and includes an optional MCP server and AI helper.

## Use cases
- monitor valkey and redis instances in real time
- analyze slow queries and slowlog history
- audit redis client activity and command patterns
- detect anomalies in cache performance
- export redis metrics to prometheus
- find largest and idle keys in redis
- debug redis latency issues after the fact

## When to choose
- you run Valkey 8.x or Redis 6+ and need persistent slowlog and audit history
- you want self-hosted or air-gapped monitoring with dashboards and anomaly detection
- you need Prometheus metrics, webhooks, and cluster topology insights for your cache fleet

## When to avoid
- you need a lightweight agent-only metrics exporter without a dashboard
- you monitor databases other than Redis/Valkey
- you require a fully open-source license - it uses MIT + Commercial dual licensing with paid team/enterprise tiers
