(ReachLocal) Sidekiq Cleaner
For additional documentation, see the Sidekiq repository
Motivation
Sidekiq is a very performant library for handling background processing of jobs, but could use with an improved UI for managing job statuses. The Capture team, found ourselves utilizing the resque-cleaner gem frequently to manage our job processing, and felt that this should be included in the Sidekiq library. What is included here is a fork of the Sidekiq library with some tweaks to the Web
rails engine under a new Cleaner
namespace.
Installation
gem install sidekiq-cleaner
Usage
Mount the Cleaner engine in the config/routes.rb
file like so:
Rails.application.routes.draw do
mount Sidekiq::Cleaner => '/cleaner'
end
The web UI should appear familiar to users of the Sidekiq job library - the only difference is that a new Cleaner tab is introduced:
This tab introduces a useful UI for managing job failures (as filtered by class and exception) en masse - which was only supported for one-off retries and deletes in the vanilla library. Perhaps a future release of Sidekiq will improve on this functionality!
Useful resources:
- Product documentation is in the wiki.
- Release announcements are made to the @sidekiq Twitter account.
- The Sidekiq tag on Stack Overflow has lots of useful Q & A.
Thanks
Sidekiq stays fast by using the JProfiler java profiler to find and fix performance problems on JRuby. Unfortunately MRI does not have good multithreaded profiling tools.
