 **TraefikRedisProxy does not manage the Redis cluster** and assumes it is up and running before the proxy itself starts.
 
+In order for traefik to reliably receive notifications of changes from redis, redis must enable [keyspace notifications](https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/use/keyspace-notifications/),
