I haven't ever used Sidekiq, so it's possible that there are methods just for viewing the queued jobs, but they would really just be wrappers around Redis commands, since that's basically all Sidekiq (and Resque) is:
# See workers
Sidekiq::Client.registered_workers
# See queues
Sidekiq::Client.registered_queues
# See all jobs for one queue
Sidekiq.redis { |r| r.lrange "queue:app_queue", 0, -1 }
# See all jobs in all queues
Sidekiq::Client.registered_queues.each do |q|
Sidekiq.redis { |r| r.lrange "queue:#{q}", 0, -1 }
end
# Remove a queue and all of its jobs
Sidekiq.redis do |r|
r.srem "queues", "app_queue"
r.del "queue:app_queue"
end
Unfortunately, removing a specific job is a little more difficult as you'd have to copy its exact value:
# Remove a specific job from a queue
Sidekiq.redis { |r| r.lrem "queue:app_queue", -1, "the payload string stored in Redis" }
You could do all of this even more easily via redis-cli :
$ redis-cli
> select 0 # (or whichever namespace Sidekiq is using)
> keys * # (just to get an idea of what you're working with)
> smembers queues
> lrange queues:app_queue 0 -1
> lrem queues:app_queue -1 "payload"
# get a handle to the default queue
default_queue = Sidekiq::Queue.new
# get a handle to the mailer queue
mailer_queue = Sidekiq::Queue.new("mailer")
# How many jobs are in the default queue?
default_queue.size # => 1001
# How many jobs are in the mailer queue?
mailer_queue.size # => 50
#Deletes all Jobs in a Queue, by removing the queue.
default_queue.clear
You can also get some summary statistics.
stats = Sidekiq::Stats.new
# Get the number of jobs that have been processed.
stats.processed # => 100
# Get the number of jobs that have failed.
stats.failed # => 3
# Get the queues with name and number enqueued.
stats.queues # => { "default" => 1001, "email" => 50 }
#Gets the number of jobs enqueued in all queues (does NOT include retries and scheduled jobs).
stats.enqueued # => 1051
There were hanged 'workers' in default queue and I was able to see them though web interface. But they weren't available from console if I used Sidekiq::Queue.new.size
$ redis-cli
> select 0 # (or whichever namespace Sidekiq is using)
> keys * # (just to get an idea of what you're working with)
> smembers queues
> lrange queue:queue_name 0 -1 # (queue_name must be your relevant queue)
> lrem queue:queue_name -1 "payload"
This is not a direct solution for the Rails console, but for a quick monitoring of the Sidekiq task count and queue size, you can use sidekiqmon binary that ships with Sidekiq 6+:
