## TL;DR

Redis slowlog entries and keyspace notifications help agents separate slow command execution from key lifecycle events.

## Core Explanation

Redis often sits on hot request paths, so agents need evidence beyond a generic cache-miss guess. Slowlog output can show slow commands and timing context, while keyspace notifications can show whether keys are expiring, being deleted, or being modified.

Agents should record the database, key pattern, command, timestamp, threshold settings, and notification configuration before recommending cache invalidation, TTL changes, or client retry logic.
