CSF Ranch

Ranch

Standardized tooling, monitoring, and retry logic for use with Celery. fork of https://github.com/managedbyq/mbq.ranch

Installation

Ranch is a Django application. To use Ranch with Celery, add the following to your settings file:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'csf.ranch'
]

RANCH = {
    'env': ENV_NAME,  # e.g. production, development
    'service': MY_SERVICE_NAME,  # e.g. backend
}

Features

Metrics

Any application with Ranch installed will have Celery metrics available in the Celery/Ranch Datadog Dashboard.

Monitors

You may set up monitors for your application using the metrics provided by Ranch.

Dead Letter Queue

Celery jobs that fail will be stored in the application's database for inspection and reprocessing. Ranch provides an Admin interface for this.

See backends's Ranch Admin for an example.

Correlation IDs

Ranch can flow correlation IDs through your Celery jobs. Ranch will not change any of your logging configuration, so you'll still need to do that as part of your correlation ID implementation.

To use the correlation ID functionality, add the following settings:

RANCH = {
    ...,
    'correlation': {
        'getter': getter_fn,  # callable with no args that returns the current correlation ID
        'setter': setter_fn,  # callable with one arg which should be set as the current correlation ID
    },
}

Supplemental Error Tagging

Ranch provides a hook to add additional tagging information to error item metrics.

To use this feature, add the following settings:

RANCH = {
    ...,
    # tags_fn takes a single arg (the Ranch Task object that failed)
    # and should return a list of strings in the format "tag_name:tag_value"
    'extra_error_queue_tags_fn': tags_fn,
}
