The Key Browser gives you a visual interface for exploring and managing every key in your Cache-Pot instance. Navigate to http://localhost:8080 and select browser in the sidebar to open it. All reads and writes go through Cache-Pot’s execute pipeline, so every mutation you make appears in the Profiler and is recorded in the AOF.

​
Browsing keys

The left panel lists all keys with their type badge and remaining TTL. The browser paginates in pages of 200 keys and loads more on demand:
  • Type a glob pattern in the search box to filter by key name — for example, user:* matches every key whose name starts with user:.
  • Click a type chip (string, hash, list, set, zset, vector) to narrow the list to a single type. Click the same chip again to clear the filter.
  • Toggle tree view with the ⌥ tree button. In tree view, keys are grouped by the : delimiter into a collapsible hierarchy. Click ≡ flat to return to the sorted flat list.
  • Click any key row to open it in the detail panel on the right.
  • Use load more to fetch the next page of results, or ↻ refresh to restart the listing from scratch.
Tree view groups keys by the : delimiter. Keys named user:1:profile and user:2:profile both appear under a collapsible user branch, making namespaced keyspaces much easier to navigate.

​
Viewing and editing key values

The detail panel renders a type-appropriate editor for each key. Select a key in the left panel to open it:
  • String — A text area shows the current value. Edit the text and click save value to write it back. If the value is larger than 16 KB the display is truncated; click load more to expand up to 4 MB, or use GETRANGE in the Workbench for very large values. Binary string values are shown as a hex preview and cannot be edited in the browser.
  • Hash — A sortable field/value table. Click ✕ next to any row to delete that field with HDEL. Add new fields using the field and value inputs at the bottom, then click hset.
  • List — An indexed list of values with page navigation for large lists. Add elements to the head with lpush or the tail with rpush. Remove from either end with lpop or rpop.
  • Set — A member list. Add a new member with sadd, or remove an existing one with ✕.
  • Sorted set — A member/score table. Add members with a numeric score using zadd, or remove them with ✕.
  • Vector — A read-only display showing the number of vectors in the collection and their dimension. Use the Workbench to run VSET and VSEARCH commands against vector keys.

​
Managing TTL

Each key’s remaining TTL appears as a badge in the detail panel header (keys with no expiry show ttl –1). You can update the TTL at any time without changing the key’s value:
  • Enter a number of seconds in the TTL input and click set ttl to apply a new expiry with PEXPIRE.
  • Click persist (visible only when the key has an active TTL) to remove the expiry entirely and make the key permanent.
Editing a string value via the Browser preserves the existing TTL automatically. The dashboard re-applies the previous expiry after writing the new value so your key does not silently become persistent.

​
Creating a key

1

Open the new-key dialog

Click the + new key button in the page header.
2

Enter a name and choose a type

Type the key name in the input field, then select the type from the dropdown: string, hash, list, set, or zset.
3

Set an initial value

Enter the initial value in the format appropriate for the type:
  • string — plain text in the text area
  • hash — one field=value pair per line
  • list or set — one element per line
  • zset — one score member pair per line (e.g. 1.5 alice)
4

Optionally set a TTL

Enter a TTL in seconds in the ttl field. Leave it blank to create a persistent key.
5

Create the key

Click create. The new key appears in the left panel and opens in the detail panel automatically.

​
Renaming and deleting keys

Renaming — Click the rename action in the detail panel header, edit the key name in the modal, and confirm. The browser selects the renamed key automatically. Deleting a single key — Click the delete button in the detail panel header and confirm the prompt. The key is removed immediately.
Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone from the dashboard. Make sure you have selected the correct key before confirming.
