I'm having no end of issues with my Redis instances - masters, slaves (old install) and sentinels. Part of the issue is that my Redis Masters and Slave are running a windows 3.0.2 version I can not do anything about. I also do not have access to the root or redis accounts on the unix box where the sentinels are running.
I can connect to the sentinels using the redis-cli.
How do I get one of my Sentinels to forget a master? I've managed to get it to monitor a second master using the monitor command but can find no way to get it to forget it.
I can't edit the config file as I don't have permission.
I also can't find a list of available sentinel commands for the cli. Things like config get don't appear to work. If someone can point me at a link that would be fantastic!
I found the commands in the sentinel.c:
"MASTERS -- Show a list of monitored masters and their state.",
"MASTER <master-name> -- Show the state and info of the specified master.",
"REPLICAS <master-name> -- Show a list of replicas for this master and their state.",
"SENTINELS <master-name> -- Show a list of Sentinel instances for this master and their state.",
"IS-MASTER-DOWN-BY-ADDR <ip> <port> <current-epoch> <runid> -- Check if the master specified by ip:port is down from current Sentinel's point of view.",
"GET-MASTER-ADDR-BY-NAME <master-name> -- Return the ip and port number of the master with that name.",
"RESET <pattern> -- Reset masters for specific master name matching this pattern.",
"FAILOVER <master-name> -- Manually failover a master node without asking for agreement from other Sentinels",
"PENDING-SCRIPTS -- Get pending scripts information.",
"MONITOR <name> <ip> <port> <quorum> -- Start monitoring a new master with the specified name, ip, port and quorum.",
"FLUSHCONFIG -- Force Sentinel to rewrite its configuration on disk, including the current Sentinel state.",
"REMOVE <master-name> -- Remove master from Sentinel's monitor list.",
"CKQUORUM <master-name> -- Check if the current Sentinel configuration is able to reach the quorum needed to failover a master "
"and the majority needed to authorize the failover.",
"SET <master-name> <option> <value> -- Set configuration paramters for certain masters.",
"INFO-CACHE <master-name> -- Return last cached INFO output from masters and all its replicas.",
"SIMULATE-FAILURE (crash-after-election|crash-after-promotion|help) -- Simulate a Sentinel crash.",
"HELP -- Prints this help.",
So to answer my question it's:
sentinel remove <master_name>
