Redis sentinel As a windows service

I downloaded the sentinel.conf file from https://download.redis.io/redis-stable/sentinel.conf and put it in to my default Redis installed location C:\Program Files\Redis. Then following changes are applied to the configuration file.

File changes

  • port 26379
  • daemonize yes
  • sentinel monitor mymaster {IP address} {Port} 1
  • sentinel down-after-milliseconds mymaster 30000
  • sentinel parallel-syncs mymaster 1
  • sentinel failover-timeout mymaster 3000

Then i was able to register redis sentinel as a windows service using following command

SC CREATE sentinel binpath= ""C:\Program Files\Redis\redis-server.exe" --service-run sentinel.conf --sentinel

But following error is occurred when i tried to start the service from service window .

"Windows could not start the sentinel service on Local Computer. Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. "

Do i have to change the configuration file or the Redis windows version(currently i am using Redis 3.2)?

You are using an old and unsupported Windows port of Redis by Microsoft (called OpenTech Redis).
I suggest you take a look at Memurai: a project actively maintained and supported (which, by the way, derives from that Microsoft project (see here).
It both has a free developer version and Enterprise licenses.
