# Go-Redis Instrumentation

<Warning>
  The Redis instrumentation currently reports all queries in an unsanitized fashion. This means that any **Personal Identifiable Information (PII)** data those queries contain, like email addresses and passwords, is sent to AppSignal. This will be configurable in a future version of the Redis instrumentation. <br /> <br /> For **HIPAA-covered entities**, more information about signing a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) can be found in our [Business Add-Ons documentation](/support/business-add-ons).
</Warning>

## Setup

To instrument your Go-Redis code, you'll need to import the OpenTelemetry official instrumentation package:

<CodeGroup>
  ```go Go theme={null}
  import "github.com/go-redis/redis/extra/redisotel/v9"
  ```
</CodeGroup>

After initializing your Redis client, instrument tracing and metrics as in the example below.

<CodeGroup>
  ```go Go theme={null}
  rdb := redis.NewClient(&redis.Options{
  		Addr: "0.0.0.0:6379",
  	})

  if err := redisotel.InstrumentTracing(rdb); err != nil {
  	panic(err)
  }
  ```
</CodeGroup>
