Sidekiq::Health

Sidekiq::Health prints the size of your Sidekiq Queues with either an OK or WARNING tag, the queue name and size. The current threshold is set to 50 meaning that when there are more than 49 jobs enqueued Sidekiq::Health will mark the queue as "too busy".

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sidekiq-health'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install sidekiq-health

Sidekiq::Health expects you to have the default Sidekiq configuration file located in config/sidekiq.yml.

NOTE: Only names queues are supported at this time.

Sidekiq::Health is intended to be used within a Rails project. When added to your project's Gemfile a rake task will be added:

$ rake sidekiq::queue::status

Which, depending on your config/sidekiq.yml and state of Sidekiq will result in:

WARNING: TOO MANY JOBS ENQUEUED. Queue: "mailers" Size: 75
OK. Queue: "default" Size: 0

Match the "WARNING" with your favorite monitoring tool and escalate accordingly.
