Django Mqueue Livefeed

Monitor events coming from multiple sites via websockets

Dependencies

• Django Mqueue: the events queue for Django.
• Centrifugo: the websockets server.
• Django Instant: the Centrifugo <-> Django layer

Install

pip install django-mqueue-livefeed

Add to INSTALLED_APPS:

"instant",
"mqueue",
"mqueue_livefeed",

In settings.py:

SITE_SLUG = "mysite"
SITE_NAME = "My site"
MQUEUE_HOOKS = {
  "centrifugo": {
      "path": "mqueue.hooks.centrifugo",
      "channel": "$livefeed",
  },
}
INSTANT_SUPERUSER_CHANNELS = (
  ("$livefeed",),
)

Note: you can apply the settings above to as much sites as you want to emit their events in the feed. Just create a site object in the admin for each of the sites to have them in the dashboard.

Set the urls:

url(r'^events/', include('mqueue_livefeed.urls')),

Create your monitored sites in the admin. And go to /events/

Test events

To generate test events a management command is available:

python3 manage.py feed_mq

It will generate 6 sites in the admin and feed them with events: run, go to /events/ and watch
