🛡️ Django Q Monitor

A reusable Django app that provides a complete REST API to monitor and manage Django Q2 tasks, schedules, and failures.

It decouples the monitoring logic from the backend, allowing you to build custom dashboards (React, Vue, Mobile) without exposing the Django Admin.

---

🚀 Features

• Task Monitoring: View execution history, status, args, and results.
• Schedules: View upcoming scheduled tasks (Cron/Repeated).
• Failures: Dedicated endpoint for failed tasks.
• Interactivity:
  • 🔄 Retry: Re-queue failed or finished tasks directly via API.
  • 🧹 Cleanup: Delete old tasks to free up database space.
• Standard JSON: Built on Django REST Framework.
