`MONITOR` is a debugging command that streams back every command processed by
the Redis server. It can help in understanding what is happening to the
database. This command can both be used via `redis-cli` and via `telnet`.
The ability to see all the requests processed by the server is useful in order
to spot bugs in an application both when using Redis as a database and as a
distributed caching system.
```
$ redis-cli monitor
1339518083.107412 [0 127.0.0.1:60866] "keys" "*"
1339518087.877697 [0 127.0.0.1:60866] "dbsize"
1339518090.420270 [0 127.0.0.1:60866] "set" "x" "6"
1339518096.506257 [0 127.0.0.1:60866] "get" "x"
1339518099.363765 [0 127.0.0.1:60866] "del" "x"
1339518100.544926 [0 127.0.0.1:60866] "get" "x"
```
Use `SIGINT` (Ctrl-C) to stop a `MONITOR` stream running via `redis-cli`.
```
$ telnet localhost 6379
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

```
Manually issue the `QUIT` command to stop a `MONITOR` stream running via
`telnet`.
## Commands not logged by MONITOR
Because of security concerns, all administrative commands are not logged by
`MONITOR`'s output.
Furthermore, the following commands are also not logged:
- `AUTH`
- `EXEC`
- `HELLO`
- `QUIT`
## Cost of running MONITOR
Because `MONITOR` streams back **all** commands, its use comes at a cost. The
following (totally unscientific) benchmark numbers illustrate what the cost of
running `MONITOR` can be.
Benchmark result **without** `MONITOR` running:
```
$ src/redis-benchmark -c 10 -n 100000 -q
PING_INLINE: 101936.80 requests per second
PING_BULK: 102880.66 requests per second
SET: 95419.85 requests per second
GET: 104275.29 requests per second
INCR: 93283.58 requests per second
```
Benchmark result **with** `MONITOR` running (`redis-cli monitor > /dev/null`):
```
$ src/redis-benchmark -c 10 -n 100000 -q
PING_INLINE: 58479.53 requests per second
PING_BULK: 59136.61 requests per second
SET: 41823.50 requests per second
GET: 45330.91 requests per second
INCR: 41771.09 requests per second
```
In this particular case, running a single `MONITOR` client can reduce the
throughput by more than 50%. Running more `MONITOR` clients will reduce
throughput even more.
@return
**Non standard return value**, just dumps the received commands in an infinite
flow.
@history
- `>=6.0`: `AUTH` excluded from the command's output.
