Celery Tracker for Django

This django extension is intended for existing celery projects that want better monitoring of what's going on in their queue.

Usage

To use this with your project, you need to:

1. Install django-celery-tracker:

$ pip install django-celery-tracker

1. Add django_celery_tracker to INSTALLED_APPS in your Django settings file:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'django_celery_tracker',
)

1. Create the database tables by applying migrations:

$ python manage.py migrate django_celery_tracker

1. You will now have a record of all future celery tasks and their progress which can be queried like so:

$ python manage.py console
...
>>> from django_celery_tracker.models import CeleryTask
>>> CeleryTask.objects.all()
<QuerySet [<CeleryTask: id=3d889396-daa2-4209-9348-9ec71bfb1262, name=api.taskapp.celery.debug_task>]

Dashboard

Optionally, you can include a dashboard view that can only be accessed by admin users. To add the dashboard to your project, simply add the following to your urls.py:

urlpatterns = [
    path("celery-tracker/", include("django_celery_tracker.urls")),
]

You can now visit http://site_url/celery-tracker to view the status of your tasks!

Disclaimer

The datastore for a celery message queue is usually in-memory and highly-optimized (eg redis or rabbitmq). This django extension creates a database entry for every celery task that is created. You may want to periodically delete older entries if storage is an obstacle.
