+## Logging
+
+This cache backend will log errors, such as connection timeouts or other
+problems while communicating with the Redis servers.
+
+If a connection error occurs during a request, it is likely, that more errors of
+the same type will happen. Therfore, those messages will, by default, be
+de-duplicated: If the messages of an error is identical with one which already
+has been logged during the current CLI / web request, it will not be logged
+another time.
+
+You can disable de-duplication logged errors for debugging purposes by
+setting the respective backend option to false:
+
+```yaml
+Flow_Mvc_Routing_Route:
+    backend: 'Flownative\RedisSentinel\RedisBackend'
+    backendOptions:
+        database: 0
+        …
+        deduplicateErrors: false
+```
+
+If you don't want errors being logged – for example, because you log errors via
+the MultiBackend – you can turn off logging for this cache backend:
+
+```yaml
+Flow_Mvc_Routing_Route:
+    backend: 'Flownative\RedisSentinel\RedisBackend'
+    backendOptions:
+        database: 0
+        …
+        logErrors: false
+```
+
 ## Tests
 
-You can adjust the host and port used in the functional tests using the 
-environment variables `REDIS_HOST` and `REDIS_PORT`;
+You can adjust the host, port and password used in the functional tests 
+using the environment variables `REDIS_HOST`, `REDIS_PORT` and `REDIS_PASSWORD`.
