How to wipe Heroku Redis?

Question

I have some information stored in my RedisToGo instance in Heroku and I want to wipe it so the Redis store is clean. Any idea how to do this?

Answer 1

You can install the heroku-redis-cli plugin

Installation

Requirements:

• The heroku gem — gem install heroku

• A local installation of redis (or at least the redis-cli utility) — apt-get install redis-server

To install:

• heroku plugins:install https://github.com/rapportive-oss/heroku-redis-cli.git

Usage

• heroku redis:info — get run-time statistics from your redis.

• heroku redis:monitor — monitor commands being sent to your redis in real time.

• heroku redis:cli — execute custom commands against redis.

Then you could simply do:

$ heroku redis:cli
$ flushall

Steps taken from readme file on the github repo: https://github.com/rapportive-oss/heroku-redis-cli

Answer 2

You can do this with redis-cli.

RedisToGo gives you a url in the form:

redis://redistogo:d20739cffb0c0a6fff719acc2728c236@catfish.redistogo.com:9402

So this command will empty your db:

redis-cli -h catfish.redistogo.com -p 9402 -a d20739cffb0c0a6fff719acc2728c236 flushall
