unable to send commands to sentinel

[mkl262]

Hi,

Im using ioredis to connect to a sentinel server, and Im able to run all redis commands successfully. But when I try to run commands on sentinel, I get an error (see below). I also ran wireshark on my computer while running the code, and I saw that the sentinel command is sent to the redis master ip. Is there something wrong that I did?

code:

const Redis = require('ioredis');

const redis = new Redis({
  sentinels: [{ host: 'localhost', port: 26379 }],
  name: 'myMaster', // The name of your master (as configured in Sentinel)
});

redis.on('connect', () => {
  console.log('Connected to Redis Sentinel');
});

// Get master address and print it
redis.sentinel('masters', (err, masters) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error('Error getting masters:', err);
  } else {
    console.log('Masters:', masters);
  }
});

error:

Connected to Redis Sentinel
