Redis Sentinel is bundled with Omnibus GitLab Enterprise Edition only. For

### Example configuration for Redis master and Sentinel 1
In `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
```ruby
redis_master_role['enable'] = true
redis_sentinel_role['enable'] = true
redis['bind'] = '10.0.0.1'
redis['port'] = 6379
redis['password'] = 'redis-password-goes-here'
```

### Example configuration for Sentinels
>**Note:**
Redis Sentinel is bundled with Omnibus GitLab Enterprise Edition only. For the
Omnibus Community Edition and installations from source, follow the
[Redis HA source install](redis_source.md) guide.
Please note that some of the variables are already configured previously
as they are required for Redis replication.
**Example configuration for Sentinel 1:**
In `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
```ruby

redis['master_password'] = 'redis-password-goes-here' # the same value defined in redis['password'] in the master instance

#redis['master_port'] = 6379 # port of the initial master redis instance, uncomment to change to non default
## Configure Sentinel
