What version of redis_exporter are you running? Please run redis_exporter --version if you're not sure what version you're running. [ ] 0.3x.x [x] 1.57.0

What's your password file looking like? (don't paste the actual password) Is it valid format? (map of host to password) Example: https://github.com/oliver006/redis_exporter/blob/master/contrib/sample-pwd-file.json

What does the file looks like when authenticating with username + password?

I've unsuccessfully tried both syntaxes:

{
  "redis://redis_exporter:pwd@redis:6379": ""
}

{
  "redis://redis_exporter@redis:6379": "pwd"
}

The json config file is passed by a secret file:

  redis_exporter:
    image: quay.io/oliver006/redis_exporter
    environment:
      - REDIS_ADDR=${REDIS_HOST:-redis}
      - REDIS_PORT=${REDIS_PORT:-6379}
      #- REDIS_USER=redis_exporter
      #- REDIS_PASSWORD=$REDIS_EXPORTER_REDIS_PASSWORD
      - REDIS_PASSWORD_FILE=/run/secrets/redis_exporter_redis_password
    secrets:
      - redis_exporter_redis_password
