Redis is an in-memory database that persists on disk. The data model is key-value, but many different kind of values are supported: Strings, Lists, Sets, Sorted Sets, Hashes, Streams, HyperLogLogs, Bitmaps.
We’re encountering an issue with Redis in Sentinel mode. Everything works as expected, but the Redis and Sentinel containers in the pod are reporting timeouts on probes. Fortunately, the containers are not restarting.
Somebody also reported similar issue in the https://github.com/bitnami/charts/issues/29985
If I exec into the pod and run some of the probes directly (e.g. /health/redis_liveness.sh) everything works as expected and response is PONG and RC is correctly 0.

Type Reason Age From Message
---- ------ ---- ---- -------
Warning Unhealthy 37m (x619 over 2d18h) kubelet Liveness probe failed: command "sh -c /health/redis_liveness.sh" timed out
Warning Unhealthy 22m (x638 over 2d18h) kubelet Liveness probe failed: command "sh -c /health/sentinel_liveness.sh" timed out
Warning Unhealthy 12m (x664 over 2d18h) kubelet Readiness probe failed: command "sh -c /health/redis_readiness.sh" timed out
Warning Unhealthy 2m48s (x652 over 2d18h) kubelet Readiness probe failed: command "sh -c /health/sentinel_liveness.sh" timed out
Another finding: If you exec into the container and run the same liveness/readiness probe shell script in an infinite loop, it never fails or timeouts.

To reproduce
Run Sentinel mode of Redis i 3 replicas.
Expected behavior
No timeouts on probes.
