Add redis otel input package #17285

mrodm · 2026-02-06T13:09:54Z

Proposed commit message

This PR adds a new Redis OpenTelemetry Input Package (redis_input_otel) that enables Elastic users to collect metrics from Redis servers using the OpenTelemetry Collector's redisreceiver through the EDOT (Elastic Distribution of OpenTelemetry) collector.

New Package: `redis_input_otel`

The package provides:

Connection settings: endpoint, username, password, transport (tcp/unix)
TLS settings: insecure mode, skip verification, CA/cert/key files, server name override
Collection settings: collection interval, initial delay

Configuration Options

Setting	Required	Default	Description
Endpoint	Yes	`localhost:6379`	The Redis server endpoint (host:port)
Username	No	-	Redis ACL username (requires Redis 6.0+)
Password	No	-	Redis password
Transport	No	`tcp`	Network to use (`tcp` or `unix`)
Disable TLS	No	`true`	Set to false to enable TLS
Collection Interval	No	`10s`	Time between metric collections
Initial Delay	No	`1s`	Delay before starting collection

Checklist

I have reviewed tips for building integrations and this pull request is aligned with them.
I have verified that all data streams collect metrics or logs.
I have added an entry to my package's changelog.yml file.
I have verified that Kibana version constraints are current according to guidelines.
~~I have verified that any added dashboard complies with Kibana's Dashboard good practices~~

1. Fixed Duration Field Types Changed collection_interval and initial_delay from type: text to type: duration in manifest.yml. 2. Added Missing TLS Configuration Options Added to manifest.yml and input.yml.hbs: tls_min_version - Minimum TLS version (1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3) tls_max_version - Maximum TLS version tls_include_system_ca_certs_pool - Include system CA pool alongside custom CA 3. Added Dialer Timeout Option Added dialer_timeout (duration type) for configuring connection timeout. 4. Updated Documentation Updated both docs/README.md and _dev/build/docs/README.md to document the new fields: Connection Settings table - Added Dialer Timeout row TLS Settings table - Added: TLS Min Version TLS Max Version Include System CA Certs Pool

Combined the Redis logo with the OpenTelemetry logo in the bottom-right corner. The logo is 32x32px with transparent background in SVG format. Co-authored-by: Mario Rodriguez Molins <mrodm@users.noreply.github.com>

The combined logo now uses the original OpenTelemetry colors: - Orange (#f5a800) for the outer elements - Blue (#425cc7) for the inner elements This replaces the previous version that used blue-only (#425CC7) for all OTel elements.

Increased the OTel icon scale from 0.44 to 0.56 and adjusted positioning to make it more visible in the bottom-right corner while maintaining the original OTel colors (orange #f5a800 and blue #425cc7). Co-authored-by: Mario Rodriguez Molins <mrodm@users.noreply.github.com>

The SVG logo file contains embedded JavaScript (a mesh gradient polyfill, lines 129-133), which poses a security risk and differs from other OTel input packages like nginx_input_otel that use clean SVGs. Please regenerate the SVG without embedded scripts - consider exporting from the SVG editor with mesh gradients rasterized or converted to standard gradients.

The password field uses secret: true but Fleet Server bug #6277 prevents secrets from being processed in OTel configurations. This will cause authentication failures when users configure a password. The prometheus_input_otel package uses secret: false as a workaround until the bug is resolved.

If changing to secret: false, also update _dev/test/policy/test-default.expected to reflect that the password will appear directly (not as ${SECRET_0}) and secret_references should be empty.

💬 NITPICK Dataset name differs from policy template

Why: The sample event shows dataset 'redisreceiver.otel' but the policy template configures 'redis_input_otel.redisreceiver'. This may be expected OTel behavior but could cause confusion.
