Should be client = GlideClient.create(config).

So far client_info_tag has only been added to Python which is why this page focuses on Python (see valkey-io/valkey-glide#6429 for task to add to all clients). But this page could also go over current lib_name and client_name usage across all clients.

28e99a6— feat(python): Add configurable lib_name and client_info_tag to client config (async + sync)Changes
how-to/monitoring/client-identification.mdx— explains the use case, shows the behavior matrix, provides examples for async/sync Python clients, and notes "coming soon" for other languagesreference/connection-options.mdx— added a "Client Identification Options" section with an availability table and exampleastro.config.mjs— added the new page to the Monitoring sidebar sectionContext
Libraries and frameworks embedding GLIDE need to identify themselves to the Valkey server for adoption tracking, observability, and debugging. The new
client_info_tagoption preserves the GLIDE identity (GlidePy/GlidePySync) while appending a framework-specific tag, andlib_nameallows a full override. This is currently Python-only; Node.js and other languages are planned as follow-ups.Source PR: valkey-glide #6389
