CONFIG GET

CONFIG GET returns the current value of the settings you ask for. Each parameter is either a setting name or a glob-style pattern (*, ? and [...]), matched case-insensitively. Older names that Redis still accepts work too, for example slave-read-only for replica-read-only or hash-max-ziplist-entries for hash-max-listpack-entries.

A setting asked for by its exact name is returned under the name as you typed it. One matched by a pattern is returned under its own name. Each setting appears at most once, even if several parameters match it.

Secrets are never returned: requirepass, masterauth, tls-key-file-pass and tls-client-key-file-pass read (hidden) when set, and an empty string when not. Memory sizes are returned in bytes.

Return value

The settings and their values: a map in RESP3, a flat array of name and value pairs in RESP2. Names that match nothing are left out, so the reply can be empty.

A call without any parameter gets ERR wrong number of arguments for 'config|get' command.

Examples

127.0.0.1:6379> CONFIG GET maxmemory*
1) "maxmemory"
2) "0"
3) "maxmemory-policy"
4) "noeviction"
5) "maxmemory-samples"
6) "5"
127.0.0.1:6379> CONFIG GET appendonly appendfsync
1) "appendonly"
2) "no"
3) "appendfsync"
4) "everysec"
127.0.0.1:6379> CONFIG GET requirepass
1) "requirepass"
2) "(hidden)"

Compatibility

Same reply shapes and pattern rules as Redis 7 and Valkey 8, with two differences: passwords read (hidden) instead of their value, and only the settings HotKV implements are listed. Settings that exist only in a HotKV configuration file section (such as replication settings) are not returned by CONFIG GET.
