Using Redis Storage for the Reporting REST Service

This article explains how to use Redis Storage for the Reporting REST Service storage.

Adding the necessary dependencies

The Telerik.Reporting.Cache.StackExchangeRedis assembly is required for Telerik Reporting to access a Redis database. This assembly uses the StackExchange.Redis client library.

Using the Telerik NuGet repository:

Add a NuGet package reference to the Telerik.Reporting.Cache.StackExchangeRedis package from the https://nuget.telerik.com/v3/index.json package source (Telerik credentials, or Telerik NuGet key, needed). For details, check How to add the Telerik private NuGet feed to Visual Studio.

Using the Telerik Reporting installation bin folder:

1. In your application project add reference to the StackExchange.Redis NuGet package with version 2.8.16 or greater. This will add a dll reference to StackExchange.Redis.dll.

   When using greater version, a binding redirect should be added in the application configuration file to the currently referenced dll version.

2. Add а reference to the Telerik.Reporting.Cache.StackExchangeRedis library located in the {Telerik Reportng installation folder}/Bin or {Telerik Reportng installation folder}/Bin/netstandard2.0 folder, depending on whether you have a .NET Framework or a .NET project respectively.

Using the Redis storage

Where needed in your application create an instance of the RedisStorage class. It takes as a parameter an StackExchange.Redis.ConnectionMultiplexer object which should be reused for the application lifetime. See (StackExchange.Redis) Basic Usage for more information.
