Redis Enterprise Software includes a set of utilities to help you manage and test your cluster. To use a utility, run it from the command line.

## Public utilities

Administrators can use these CLI tools to manage and test a Redis Enterprise cluster. You can find the binaries in the `/opt/redislabs/bin/` directory.
