+# Set the password to use to authenticate with the master and slaves.
+# Useful if there is a password set in the Redis instances to monitor.

+# Note that the master password is also used for slaves, so it is not

+# if you want to be able to monitor these instances with Sentinel.

+# However you can have Redis instances without the authentication enabled

 # sentinel down-after-milliseconds <master-name> <milliseconds>
