What is an RDB-SHM file

RDB-SHM files mostly belong to Siemens Logger. RDB-SHM files are mainly used as Siemens data log files. They store process data produced by industrial equipment and are formatted in a binary, shared memory setup.
In some environments, these files are also seen as a Redis shared memory file, where they help manage cached data using shared memory segments.
This file type is primarily generated by automated logging systems. It holds detailed operational entries that are not designed for manual editing.
Key use cases include:
  • Storing machine or process data in Siemens environments
  • Managing shared memory in Redis systems
  • FilExt.com note: They are structured to ensure efficient access and performance, which makes standard text editors unsuitable for viewing their contents. Specialized tools, such as Siemens data log analyzers or hex viewers, are recommended for proper interpretation.

    2. Redis
      The .RDB-SHM file is a shared memory file used by Redis, an in-memory data structure store, used as a database, cache, and message broker. It is crucial for performance as it allows Redis to access data directly from memory, bypassing disk I/O. The .RDB-SHM file is created alongside the .rdb file during snapshotting, holding shared data among Redis processes. It contains data structures like strings, hashes, lists, sets, and sorted sets, enabling fast access and manipulation. The .RDB-SHM file is essential for Redis persistence and efficient data management, contributing to its speed and versatility. This file format is classified as Database file.
