resque_to_cloudwatch

This is a gem containing a daemon for submitting Resque queue lengths to AWS Cloudwatch.

Usage

The daemon lives at bin/resque_to_cloudwatch, and takes only a single parameter:

bin/resque_to_cloudwatch --config /path/to/config.yaml

If you don't supply this parameter, the daemon will look for a config file in the current directory.

The config file has the following format (in YAML):

access_key_id: asdfasfasd
secret_access_key: asdfasdfasf
region: us-west-2
project: testing
hostname: laptop
redis_host: some.redis.host
redis_port: 6379
period: 60
