The monitoring layer that Valkey deserves.
BetterDB persists what Valkey throws away - slowlogs, command patterns, client activity, anomaly signals - so you can debug what happened at 3am, not just what's happening now. Built for Valkey 8.x with native support for COMMANDLOG, CLUSTER SLOT-STATS, and per-thread I/O metrics. Redis 6+ compatible for everything else.

BetterDB is built by BetterDB Inc., a public benefit company operating under the OCV Open Charter.

docker run -d --name betterdb -p 3001:3001 betterdb/monitor:latest
Point your browser to http://localhost:3001. To monitor a specific instance:
docker run -d \
--name betterdb \
-p 3001:3001 \
-e DB_HOST=your-valkey-host \
-e DB_PORT=6379 \
-e DB_PASSWORD=your-password \
betterdb/monitor:latest
Connecting to a database on your host machine? Inside the container
localhostis the container itself, not your host — so usehost.docker.internalas the database host. On Docker Desktop (macOS/Windows) it works out of the box; on Linux add--add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gatewayto thedocker runcommand so the name resolves. The dashboard's one-click "connect to local instance" button auto-detects this and pre-fills the right host for you.
Two image variants are published, both multi-arch (linux/amd64, linux/arm64):
| Tag | What it is |
|---|---|
latest, X.Y.Z-no-ai | Default image - every monitoring feature included, without the dependencies for the experimental local-LLM AI Helper |
X.Y.Z | Adds the experimental AI Helper (bring your own Ollama; disabled by default via AI_ENABLED) |
