z4j-django 1.5.0

z4j Django framework adapter (Apache 2.0)

z4j-django

The Django framework adapter for z4j.

Adds the z4j agent into your Django project as a single INSTALLED_APPS entry. Auto-discovers the engine adapter you have installed (Celery, RQ, Dramatiq, Huey, arq, TaskIQ) and streams every task lifecycle event from your Django workers to z4j. Operator control actions (retry, cancel, bulk retry, purge, restart) flow back the same channel.

What it ships

• One-line install, add "z4j_django" to INSTALLED_APPS; the agent starts when Django boots, no decorator on every task
• Engine auto-discovery, picks up whichever z4j engine adapter is installed alongside (Celery, RQ, Dramatiq, Huey, arq, TaskIQ). Multiple engines in the same project are first-class.
• Schedule integration, pair with z4j-celerybeat to surface django-celery-beat schedules on the dashboard's Schedules page
• @z4j_meta decorator, optional per-task annotations (priority="critical", description="...") that the dashboard honors for filtering and SLO display
• Service-user safe, auto-relocates the local outbound buffer to $TMPDIR/z4j-{uid} when $HOME is unwritable (gunicorn under www-data, nginx, etc.)

Install

pip install z4j-django z4j-celery z4j-celerybeat

Then in settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    "django_celery_beat",  # if you use celery-beat
    "z4j_django",
]

The agent reads its bearer token from Z4J_AGENT_TOKEN, z4j URL from Z4J_BRAIN_URL, and the project slug from Z4J_PROJECT. Mint the token from the dashboard's Agents page.

Reliability

• No exception from the agent ever propagates back into Django request handlers, signals, or your worker code.
• Events buffer locally when z4j is unreachable; your application never blocks on network I/O.
• Agent reconnects on every transient failure with bounded backoff.
