name: Verify index usage description: Confirm queries are using indexes through execution plan analysis with GRAPH.EXPLAIN

Verify index usage

Confirm that your queries are using indexes through execution plan analysis.

Usage

Use GRAPH.EXPLAIN to verify that the query execution plan includes index scan operations.

Example

redis-cli GRAPH.EXPLAIN social "MATCH (p:Person) WHERE p.age = 30 RETURN p"

Notes

• Look for "Index Scan" operations in the execution plan
• If you see "Label Scan" or "All Node Scan", the index is not being used
• Indexes are only used when predicates match the indexed properties
• Ensure indexes exist before expecting them to be used
• Some query patterns may prevent index usage (e.g., not-equal operators)
