Facing redis problem: unknown command `config`, with args beginning with: `set` on amazon linux - amazon-web-services

Question

I am trying to get around this problem since yesterday but no matter what I do, I just cannot make redis to execute for my project. Here are the details in steps:
Step 1: I created new setup for redis using Elasticache in aws console, then I copied the url mentioned in primary endpoint e.g. my-redisxxxxx.cache.amazonaws.com. Thereafter, I assigned custom parameter group to this cluster from aws console where I have also configured the "notify-keyspace-events" in following way:
It still breaks even if I select default parameter group and don't assign this key.
Step 2: I made ssh connection to my nodejs EC2 instance and went to the environment variables file and assigned this url in this way:
REDIS_URI="my-redisxxxxx.cache.amazonaws.com"
REDIS_HOST="my-redisxxxxx.cache.amazonaws.com"
REDIS_PORT=6379
REDIS_INDEX=14
Now all other configurations are working fine in this manner, even redis works if I replace above url with one another existing cluster url. Only this particular new cluster that I made using elasticache seems to be having some problem.
As soon as I run node project using pm2, it hits the wall and throws this:
subscribed to channel ===> __keyevent#14__:expired

I spent countless hours to understand this problem by reading documentation, only to find out that config command is restricted in aws elasticache. Also I found this answer here however not able to adapt it in my current code as I am creating redis connection like this (also I am not sure whether this is good solution):
const sub = redis.createClient(options);
export const subscribe = async (channel: string) => {
try {
sub.subscribe(channel);
console.log(`subscribed to channel ===> ${channel}`);
return {};
}
catch (error) {
console.log("Error while subscribing to a channel", error);
return {}
}
}
I am completely lost now as not able to think over what can solve this.

Answer 1

For those who are having similar problem, I was able to solve this by commenting out this line: this.client.config('set', 'notify-keyspace-events', 'AKE'); from connectRedisDB() function located inside redis.database.ts. I have commented this line because this parameter is already set in parameter group for redis from aws console, as state above in image.
