@chrislovecnm thanks for the pull request!

I'm not understanding something though. The documentation on the wiki page says to use grails.redis.<values>. Your example and pull request removes grails from it.

I think this is a change that was suggested a while ago by Burt Beckwith as that's apparently the standard naming for plugin config files now, grails.pluginname.<values> instead of just pluginname.<values>.

Is there somewhere in the current documentation that's still suggesting using just redis.<values> as you have in your config file?

In order to use environment specific config I use the conf file in the demo that I provided.

How do you recommend I handle the config?

Doesn't just nesting it inside a grails closure work? So changing your example to:

development {

    grails {
        redis {
            poolConfig {
                // jedis pool specific tweaks here, see jedis docs & src
                // ex: testWhileIdle = true
            }
            port = 6379
            host = "goldgriff"
            timeout = 2000 //default in milliseconds
            //password = "somepassword" //defaults to no password
        }
    }
    grails.logging.jul.usebridge = true
}
production {
    grails {
        redis {
            poolConfig {
                // jedis pool specific tweaks here, see jedis docs & src
                // ex: testWhileIdle = true
            }
            port = 6379
            host = "www"
            timeout = 2000 //default in milliseconds
            //password = "somepassword" //defaults to no password
        }
    }
    grails.logging.jul.usebridge = false
    // TODO: grails.serverURL = "https://www.changeme.com"
}

You're just missing the grails part of the config. You can see in the lines you below it that your logging statement has grails at the beginning (otherwise instead of grails.logging.jul.usebridge it would have just been logging.jul.usebridge) same thing here.

Will try ... makes sense. ~ Slapping palm to forehead ~
