## REDIS
[Redis](https://redis.io/) is an in-memory data store similar to memcached. While Redis has been an optional component of
NetBox since the introduction of webhooks in version 2.4, it is required starting in 2.6 to support NetBox's caching
functionality (as well as other planned features). In 2.7, the connection settings were broken down into two sections for
task queuing and caching, allowing the user to connect to different Redis instances/databases per feature.
[Redis](https://redis.io/) is a lightweight in-memory data store similar to memcached. NetBox employs Redis for background task queuing and other features.
Redis is configured using a configuration setting similar to `DATABASE` and these settings are the same for both of the `tasks` and `caching` subsections:

## Webhooks
A webhook is a mechanism for conveying to some external system a change that took place in NetBox. For example, you may want to notify a monitoring system whenever the status of a device is updated in NetBox. This can be done by creating a webhook for the device model in NetBox and identifying the webhook receiver. When NetBox detects a change to a device, an HTTP request containing the details of the change and who made it be sent to the specified receiver. Webhooks are an excellent mechanism for building event-based automation processes.
A webhook is a mechanism for conveying to some external system a change that has taken place in NetBox. For example, you may want to notify a monitoring system whenever the status of a device is updated in NetBox. To do this, first create a [webhook](../models/extras/webhook.md) identifying the remote receiver (URL), HTTP method, and any other necessary parameters. Then, define an [event rule](../models/extras/eventrule.md) which is triggered by device changes to transmit the webhook.
