# Monitors

The On Premises instance runs a small Redis instance (128Mb) that is required for running the Monitors in Taskforce's alert system.

You can add a local connection for checking that the monitor system is working as it should, like this:

![](/files/0K0gRwFQU6AvfV5trBkT)

You will get a new connection that shows the monitor (and other queues as the monitors do their thing):

![](/files/fVJuXPJAnMbUSSaWewXe)

{% hint style="info" %}
The Redis instance is isolated from the outside and only possible to be accessed from the EC2 host itself, so TLS, nor password authentication is necessary.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.taskforce.sh/on-premises/aws/monitors.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
