z4j-celerybeat 1.4.0

z4j Celery-beat scheduler adapter (Apache 2.0)

z4j-celerybeat

The Celery Beat scheduler adapter for z4j.

Surfaces periodic / crontab / one-shot Celery schedules on the dashboard's Schedules page, read, create, update, enable, disable, trigger, delete. Supports both Celery's static app.conf.beat_schedule and the database-backed django_celery_beat.models.PeriodicTask.

What it ships

Capability	Notes
List schedules	from both static config and django-celery-beat
Read individual schedule	by id
Create schedule	django-celery-beat backend (static is read-only)
Update	interval / crontab / args / kwargs / enabled flag
Enable / disable	via is_enabled toggle
Trigger now	fires the underlying task immediately, outside the schedule
Delete	django-celery-beat backend
Live sync	django-celery-beat changes flow to the dashboard automatically
Boot inventory	full snapshot at agent connect; existing schedules show up without editing

Static beat_schedule is read-only by design, you can view, enable, disable, and trigger, but create / update / delete need a deploy round-trip. The dashboard hides buttons it can't honor.

Install

pip install z4j-celery z4j-celerybeat

With django-celery-beat (most Django projects)

# settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    "django_celery_beat",
    "z4j_django",
]

The Schedules page picks up every PeriodicTask row immediately. Edits flow both ways, dashboard changes write through to the database, and changes written directly to the model surface via Django signals.

With static beat_schedule (plain Celery)

from celery import Celery
from z4j_bare import install_agent
from z4j_celery import CeleryEngineAdapter
from z4j_celerybeat import CeleryBeatAdapter

app = Celery("myproject", broker="redis://localhost")
app.conf.beat_schedule = {
    "cleanup-every-5-minutes": {
        "task": "myapp.tasks.cleanup",
        "schedule": 300.0,
    },
}

install_agent(
    engines=[CeleryEngineAdapter(celery_app=app)],
    schedulers=[CeleryBeatAdapter(celery_app=app)],
    brain_url="https://brain.example.com",
    token="z4j_agent_...",
    project_id="my-project",
)

Pairs with

• z4j-celery, engine adapter

Reliability

• No exception from the adapter ever propagates back to Celery Beat, Django request handlers, or PeriodicTask signal receivers.
• Database writes for PeriodicTask happen in the dashboard's request context with normal Django ORM semantics, even if z4j is unreachable, the local model write is never affected.
