Get number of redis-Keys that have been en-queued for more than 5 minutes

Question

We want to monitor our Sidekiq process and see if some of them are failing. This normally leads to a situation where a Sidekiq-job hangs forever, in case there's an error.

My question is now, how can I get via redis-cli the number of jobs, which have been in the queue for more than 5 minutes?
