You will need:

* A [Redis](https://redis.io) database, for example in [Redis Cloud](https://redis.io/cloud/).
* The target database's hostname and port number. [Create a database in Redis Cloud](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rc/rc-quickstart/#create-an-account).
* The username and password for the target database. [Get the username and password in Redis Cloud](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rc/rc-quickstart/#connect-to-a-database).
* The database number for the target database. Redis databases are typically numbered from 0 to 15, with the default database number typically being 0.

## Create the connector

1. On the sidebar, click **Connectors**.
2. Click **Destinations**.
3. Click **New** or **Create Connector**.
4. Give the connector some unique **Name**.
5. In the **Provider** area, click **Redis**.
6. Click **Continue**.
7. Follow the on-screen instructions to fill in the fields as described later on this page.
8. Click **Save and Test**.

Fill in the following fields:

* **Name** (*required*): A unique name for this connector.
* **URI**: If **URI** is selected for **Authentication Method**, the connection URI for the target database user and password, hostname, and port number. Use the format of `redis://<username>:<password>@<hostname>:<port-number>`. If SSL encryption is enabled for the database, use `rediss://` instead of `redis://`.
* **Host** (*required* if **Password** is selected for **Authentication Method**): The target database's hostname.
* **Port**: If **Password** is selected for **Authentication Method**, the database's port number. The default is `6379` unless otherwise specified.
* **Username** (*required* if **Password** is selected for **Authentication Method**): The name of the database user (not the logged in user).
* **Password** (*required* if **Password** is selected for **Authentication Method**): The database user's password.
* **Database Index**: The number (index) for the target database. The default is `0` unless otherwise specified.
* **SSL**: Check this box to enable SSL encryption for the connection. Check this box only if SSL is already set up and enabled for the target database. This box is checked by default.
* **Key Prefix**: A string to prepend to each element's `element_id`. This is useful for distinguishing between different data sets in the same Redis instance. The default is an empty string.
* **Batch Size**: The maximum number of records to upload in a single batch. The default is `100` unless otherwise specified.
