How to monitor events from workers in a Celery-Dja

问题:

According to the celery tutorial regarding real-time monitoring of celery workers, one can also programmatically capture the events produced by the workers and take action accordingly.

My question is how can I integrate a monitor as the one in this example, in a Celery-Django application?

EDIT: The code example in the tutorial looks like:

from celery import Celery

def my_monitor(app):
    state = app.events.State()

    def announce_failed_tasks(event):
        state.event(event)
        task_id = event['uuid']

        print('TASK FAILED: %s[%s] %s' % (
            event['name'], task_id, state[task_id].info(), ))
    with app.connection() as connection:
        recv = app.events.Receiver(connection, handlers={
                'task-failed': announce_failed_tasks,
                'worker-heartbeat': announce_dead_workers,
        })
        recv.capture(limit=None, timeout=None, wakeup=True)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    celery = Celery(broker='amqp://guest@localhost//')
    my_monitor(celery)

So I want to capture task_failed event sent by the worker, and to get its task_id like the tutorial shows, to get the result for this task from the result-backend that was configured for my application and process it further. My problem is that it is not obvious to me how to get the application, as in a django-celery project it is not transparent to me the instantiation of Celery library.

I am also open to any other idea as to how to process the results when a worker has finished executing a task.

Ok, I found a way of doing this, though I am not sure that this is the solution, but it works for me. The monitor function basically connects directly to the broker and listens to different types of events. My code looks like this:

from celery.events import EventReceiver
from kombu import Connection as BrokerConnection

def my_monitor:
    connection = BrokerConnection('amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672//')

    def on_event(event):
        print "EVENT HAPPENED: ", event

    def on_task_failed(event):
        exception = event['exception']
        print "TASK FAILED!", event, " EXCEPTION: ", exception

    while True:
        try:
            with connection as conn:
                recv = EventReceiver(conn,
                                 handlers={'task-failed' : on_task_failed,
                                           'task-succeeded' : on_event,
                                           'task-sent' : on_event,
                                           'task-received' : on_event,
                                           'task-revoked' : on_event,
                                           'task-started' : on_event,
                                           # OR: '*' : on_event
                                           })
            recv.capture(limit=None, timeout=None)
    except (KeyboardInterrupt, SystemExit):
        print "EXCEPTION KEYBOARD INTERRUPT"
        sys.exit()

This is all. And I run this in a different process than the normal application, meaning that I create a child process of my celery application which only runs this function. HTH

Beware of a couple of gotchas

1. You need to set CELERY_SEND_EVENTS flag as true in your celery config.
2. You can also set the event monitor in a new thread from your worker.

Here is my implementation:

class MonitorThread(object):
    def __init__(self, celery_app, interval=1):
        self.celery_app = celery_app
        self.interval = interval

        self.state = self.celery_app.events.State()

        self.thread = threading.Thread(target=self.run, args=())
        self.thread.daemon = True
        self.thread.start()

    def catchall(self, event):
        if event['type'] != 'worker-heartbeat':
            self.state.event(event)

        # logic here

    def run(self):
        while True:
            try:
                with self.celery_app.connection() as connection:
                    recv = self.celery_app.events.Receiver(connection, handlers={
                        '*': self.catchall
                    })
                    recv.capture(limit=None, timeout=None, wakeup=True)

            except (KeyboardInterrupt, SystemExit):
                raise

            except Exception:
                # unable to capture
                pass

            time.sleep(self.interval)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = get_celery_app() # returns app
    MonitorThread(app)
    app.start()
