# 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 %}
