Is Redis required?

Hi, I am trying to explore the option of not using Redis with Exceptionless. Is that a possibility or is Redis a requirement?

I think I read somewhere in the documentation that it is optional so I deleted the below environment variables. Is this the wrong approach?

EX_ConnectionStrings__Queue: provider=redis
EX_ConnectionStrings__Redis: server=redis,abortConnect=false

Currently, the Exceptionless logs are saying this: [16:19:43 ERR] Health check Cache completed after 0.7787ms with status Unhealthy and 'Cache Not Working.'

In that case I’m not too worried going without the additional complexity of Redis. We’ll enable disk queuing on the client side and requeue the server side queue folder if anything goes wrong. We’ll also set up a monitor for the server side queue folder to make sure that nothing hangs around for too long. Does that sound reasonable?

Thanks for reaching out to us. It’s not required but highly recommended as not using it will limit you to run everything in a single process and any non processed queued data will be lost upon app restart. Sounds like there could be some kind of issue with the cache health check when using in memory cache client. Where is this log message coming from?
