Connection issues

If you experience connection issues, try these steps.

2. Investigate logs

You can review the Redis Insight log files (files with a .log extension) to get detailed information about system issues. These are the locations on supported platforms:

• Docker: In the /data/logs directory inside the container.
• macOS: In the /Users/<your-username>/.redis-insight directory.
