# redis-sentinel(1)

Persistent key-value database (cluster mode)

## NAME

redis-sentinel - Persistent key-value database (cluster mode)

## SYNOPSIS

**redis-sentinel** configfile

## DESCRIPTION

Redis is a key-value database. It is similar to memcached but the dataset is not volatile and other datatypes (such as lists and sets) are natively supported.

## OPTIONS

- configfile

  Read options from specified configuration file.

## NOTES

On Debian GNU/Linux systems, **redis-sentinel** is typically started via the **/etc/init.d/redis-sentinel** initscript, not manually. This defaults to using **/etc/redis/sentinel.conf** as a configuration file.
