ocredis is a wrapper for the popular [redis-py](https://github.com/andymccurdy/redis-py)

ocredis provides observability using OpenCensus for distributed tracing and metrics.

pip install ocredis

You can initialize exactly how you would for redis.Redis. In fact it is meant to be a drop replacement.

• Change the import statement from

>>> import redis

to

>>> import ocredis

• Change the client initialization from

>>> client = redis.Redis(host=host, port=port)

to

>>> client = ocredis.OcRedis(host=host, port=port)`

and obviously enabling OpenCensus metrics and exporters as per https://opencensus.io/exporters/supported-exporters/python/

>>> ocredis.register_views()

and the rest is trivial to use then.

For example

>>> import ocredis
>>> ocredis.register_views()
>>> r = ocredis.OcRedis(host='localhost', port=6379)
>>> r.set('foo', 'bar')
True
>>> r.get('foo')
'bar'

• calls
• latency
• key_length
• value_length

Tests can be run by using pytest, for example
