Description

Problem description (Describe the problem you would like to solve with this feature request or suggested idea).
Currently any time we update an elasticache cluster, we can no longer connect in RedisInsight because it only retains node IP address(es).

How often do you encounter this problem (Describe how frequently this problem occurs).
Every time a cluster change happens resulting in new IP addresses of each cluster node

Alternatives considered (Describe any alternative features or products you've considered).
"Another Redis Desktop Manager" handles this fine... and so should the official redis tools.

Research direction

The issue identifies RedisInsight's cluster connection handling as the affected area, but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how cluster node addresses are stored and reused after a cluster update; done means the cluster hostname is retained so RedisInsight reconnects when node IP addresses change, with coverage for that update scenario.
