Sentinel Client
***************

Redis `Sentinel <https://redis.io/topics/sentinel>`_ provides high availability for Redis. There are commands that can only be executed against a redis node running in sentinel mode. Connecting to those nodes, and executing commands against them requires a Sentinel connection.

Connection example (assumes redis redis on the ports listed below):

   >>> from redis import Sentinel
   >>> sentinel = Sentinel([('localhost', 26379)], socket_timeout=0.1)
   >>> sentinel.discover_master('mymaster')
   ('127.0.0.1', 6379)
   >>> sentinel.discover_slaves('mymaster')
   [('127.0.0.1', 6380)]
