Thanks!

There is a typo "milliesconds" in the code.

What if my redis is auth enabled? How do I provide a password?

Thank you. I've tweaked it to support auth - https://gist.github.com/luanntvn/3800a9fa007a9c49c87b6da31df1d8de

Willing to contribute it as a plugin for another monitoring project? I was googling to get some ideas for a Redis health check plugin and found this.

Automatron: https://github.com/madflojo/automatron

can we get the performance data with this plugin ? service performanace data field is empty for this
