A simple script to print the size of all your Redis keys.

redis_key_sizes.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# This script prints out all of your Redis keys and their size in a human readable format

human_size() {
        awk -v sum="$1" ' BEGIN {hum[1024^3]="Gb"; hum[1024^2]="Mb"; hum[1024]="Kb"; for (x=1024^3; x>=1024; x/=1024) { if (sum>=x) { printf "%.2f %s\n",sum/x,hum[x]; break; } } if (sum<1024) print "1kb"; } '
}

redis_cmd='redis-cli'

# get keys and sizes
for k in `$redis_cmd keys "*"`; do key_size_bytes=`$redis_cmd debug object $k | perl -wpe 's/^.+serializedlength:([\d]+).+$/$1/g'`; size_key_list="$size_key_list$key_size_bytes $k\n"; done

# sort the list
sorted_key_list=`echo -e "$size_key_list" | sort -n`

# print out the list with human readable sizes
echo -e "$sorted_key_list" | while read l; do
    if [[ -n "$l" ]]; then
        size=`echo $l | perl -wpe 's/^(\d+).+/$1/g'`; hsize=`human_size "$size"`; key=`echo $l | perl -wpe 's/^\d+(.+)/$1/g'`; printf "%-10s%s\n" "$hsize" "$key";
    fi
done

Awesome work!

Thanks. It's very helpful!

This saved me some real time today. Thanks for your good work!

But will the 'serializedlength' include the index size(and all other relavant stuffs) redis maintains for that key?? I need the entire memory size consumed by redis for a single key..

Nice! Thank you.

0.00 Gb ERR unknown command 'debug'

redis-cli -h amazonaws.redis.hostname DEBUG OBJECT
(error) ERR unknown command 'DEBUG'

any idea on this error ?

If you use an external Redis hosting you might have the DEBUG command disabled. For example, this is a list of disabled commands on one of popular Redis providers: CONFIG, SHUTDOWN, BGREWRITEAOF, BGSAVE, SAVE, DEBUG, and KEYS

It's too slow for large keys....

Nice work! So there's no way to profile on AWS ElasticCache since DEBUG is disabled?

@sakovias - Seems correct. http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonElastiCache/latest/UserGuide/ClientConfig.RestrictedCommands.html

Only option for AWS ElastiCache is to use a tool that does not rely on debug, perhaps: https://github.com/antirez/redis-sampler

This work for me. Awesome and niubible!!!

How to use with authentication?

guys, you have info command with total memory usage. iterating all keys with ineffective keys * is not a good approach.

FYI: the script doesn't work if you're using Redis on AWS Elasticache, 'redis-cli debug' command not supported.

that's really a bad idea by using this script on product environment. Maybe using scan command to get the keys by application, and then apply this script can get a better efficientily.

Agree

what does that -e does in echo?

@navi2589, Try running the following and see what it does.

echo -e "Blah\nFoo\n\nBar"

it doesn't work on ubuntu 18.

Just calculate the size by your brain, the serializedsize unit is 'byte', so 1024 = 1k, 1024000 = 1MB

Nice!
