Did you add the cq:confproperty to your content tree and publish it? AEM performs a lookup based on the content and its contextual cq:conf property to find the appropriate configuration, e.g.

/content/xyz
    + jcr:content
      - cq:conf = "/conf/xyz"

/conf/xyz
    + settings
      + redirects
        + rule-1
            - source = "/content/xyz/page1"
            - target = "/content/xyz/page2"
            - statusCode = 302

Wait, So cq:conf property needs to be available at all pages and not just root page? Then i need to add it at Template?

No, it needs to be on the root page only. Just make sure the root page is published.

I tested redirects in AEM CS 2024.6.16971.20240628T122619Z-240600 and 6.5.21 and all was working fine for me.

i manually added cq:conf property at a specific page(other than the root page) and then it works. my root page has it already.

It could be something wrong with your content tree.
You only need cq:conf on the root page and that page needs to be published. CAconfig goes up the tree until this property is found.

You can use the "Sling / Context-Aware Configuration" plugin in the OSGi Console to test resolution and print the metadata.

I dont see any issue there. Everything looks fine as the metadata above.

[YegorKozlov]

are you checking on the publish instance?

In my local it works when i created a new replication agent. I am facing this issue in AEM Cloud. I have the same content hierarchy. I could also see that sling distribution logs as mentioned above.
