35516	Setting Client Name for Redis Connections	Aswin1105	nobody	"I encountered an issue in Django when managing multiple services connecting to Redis. To effectively monitor and maintain the number of connections each service or Django instance has, it would be beneficial to utilize the client_name feature in redis-py.

However, I found that the current documentation does not provide a straightforward method to set the client_name in cache backend settings. After delving into the django.core.cache code, I discovered that we can pass the client_name parameter through the CONNECTION_POOL_KWARGS option within the cache settings. This parameter is then propagated to the base redis-py package.

By enabling the client_name for Redis connections, we can easily reference and manage connections, improving the overall maintainability and monitoring of Redis connections across services.

I propose adding a dedicated key for client_name under the CACHES setting in Django, particularly under the default cache configuration. Furthermore, including this in the documentation as a best practice would save time and effort for developers in the future.

I will raise this django-redis also, But before that we will discuss and find the best change"	New feature	closed	Core (Cache system)	5.0	Normal	wontfix			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
