Set the vm.overcommit_memory to 1, which means always, this will avoid data to be truncated, take a look here for more.

sysctl -w vm.overcommit_memory=1

Change the maximum of backlog connections some value higher than the value on tcp-backlog option of redis.conf, which defaults to 511. You can find more on sysctl based ip networking “tunning” on kernel.org website.

sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=512

Disable transparent huge pages support, that is known to cause latency and memory access issues with Redis.

echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled

Redis.conf is the Redis configuration file, however you will see the file named as 6379.conf here, where the number is the same as the network port is listening to. This name is recommended if you are going to run more than one Redis instance.

cp redis.conf /etc/redis/6379.conf
vim /etc/redis/6379.conf

daemonize yes #note
pidfile /var/run/redis_6379.pid
port 6379

vim /etc/sysctl.conf

For the transparent huge pages support there is no sysctl directive, so you can put the command at the end of /etc/rc.local

echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
