```
The releases are available as [Docker image tags](https://hub.docker.com/r/mdawar/rq-exporter/tags).
## Usage
**Python package**:
```sh
$ # Start the exporter on port 9726
$ rq-exporter
$ # Start the exporter on a specific port and host (Default: 0.0.0.0:9726)
$ rq-exporter --host localhost --port 8080
$ # By default the exporter will connect to Redis on `localhost` port `6379`
$ # You can specify a Redis URL
$ rq-exporter --redis-url redis://:123456@redis_host:6379/0
$ # Or specific Redis options (host, port, db, password)
$ rq-exporter --redis-host 192.168.1.10 --redis-port 6380 --redis-pass 123456 --redis-db 1
$ # You can also specify a password file path (eg: mounted Docker secret)
$ rq-exporter --redis-pass-file /run/secrets/redis_pass
```
**Docker image**:
```sh
$ # Run the exporter and publish the port 9726 on the host
$ docker run -it -p 9726:9726 rq-exporter
$ # Use the -d option to run the container in the background (detached)
$ docker run -d -p 9726:9726 rq-exporter
$ # All the command line arguments will be passed to rq-exporter
$ docker run -it -p 9726:9726 rq-exporter --redis-host redis --redis-pass 123456
$ # You can also configure the exporter using environment variables
$ docker run -it -p 9726:9726 -e RQ_REDIS_HOST=redis -e RQ_REDIS_PASS=123456 rq-exporter
```
## Grafana Dashboard
An example [**Grafana** dashboard](https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/12196) is available with the ID `12196` for showcasing this exporter's metrics.
You can also find the [JSON file of the dashboard](https://github.com/mdawar/rq-exporter/tree/master/grafana/rq-dashboard.json) in this repository.
**Note**:
- This is just an example dashboard, feel free to use it as a base for your custom dashboard
- You need to adjust the color thresholds to suit your needs for the job status percentage _singlestat_ panels
- Some panels might seem duplicated providing percentages and current values, these are just for showcasing the PromQL queries
## Exported Metrics
**RQ metrics:**
| Metric Name | Type | Labels | Description |
| ------------------------------- | ------- | ------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| `rq_workers` | Gauge | `name`, `queues`, `state` | RQ workers |
| `rq_jobs` | Gauge | `queue`, `status` | RQ jobs by queue and status |
| `rq_workers_success_total` | Counter | `name`, `queues` | Successful job count by worker |
| `rq_workers_failed_total` | Counter | `name`, `queues` | Failed job count by worker |
| `rq_workers_working_time_total` | Counter | `name`, `queues` | Total working time in seconds by worker |
**Request processing metrics:**

| `rq_request_processing_seconds_sum` | Summary | Total sum of time spent collecting RQ data |
| `rq_request_processing_seconds_created` | Gauge | Time created at (`time.time()` return value) |
Example:
```sh
# HELP rq_request_processing_seconds Time spent collecting RQ data

rq_jobs{queue="default", status="scheduled"} 2.0
```
## Configuration
You can configure the exporter using command line arguments or environment variables:
| CLI Argument | Env Variable | Default Value | Description |
| ------------------- | ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `--host` | `RQ_EXPORTER_HOST` | `0.0.0.0` | Serve the exporter on this host |
| `-p`, `--port` | `RQ_EXPORTER_PORT` | `9726` | Serve the exporter on this port |
| `--redis-url` | `RQ_REDIS_URL` | `None` | Redis URL in the form `redis://:[password]@[host]:[port]/[db]` |
| `--redis-host` | `RQ_REDIS_HOST` | `localhost` | Redis host name |
| `--redis-port` | `RQ_REDIS_PORT` | `6379` | Redis port number |
| `--redis-db` | `RQ_REDIS_DB` | `0` | Redis database number |
| `--sentinel-host` | `RQ_SENTINEL_HOST` | `None` | Redis Sentinel hosts separated by commas e.g `sentinel1,sentinel2:26380` |
| `--sentinel-port` | `RQ_SENTINEL_PORT` | `26379` | Redis Sentinel port, default port used when not set with the host |
| `--sentinel-master` | `RQ_SENTINEL_MASTER` | `master` | Redis Sentinel master name |
| `--redis-pass` | `RQ_REDIS_PASS` | `None` | Redis password |
| `--redis-pass-file` | `RQ_REDIS_PASS_FILE` | `None` | Redis password file path (e.g. Path of a mounted Docker secret) |
| `--worker-class` | `RQ_WORKER_CLASS` | `rq.Worker` | RQ worker class |
| `--queue-class` | `RQ_QUEUE_CLASS` | `rq.Queue` | RQ queue class |
| `--log-level` | `RQ_EXPORTER_LOG_LEVEL` | `INFO` | Logging level |
| `--log-format` | `RQ_EXPORTER_LOG_FORMAT` | `[%(asctime)s] [%(name)s] [%(levelname)s]: %(message)s` | Logging handler format string |
| `--log-datefmt` | `RQ_EXPORTER_LOG_DATEFMT` | `%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S` | Logging date/time format string |
**Notes**:
- When Redis URL is set using `--redis-url` or `RQ_REDIS_URL` the other Redis options will be ignored
- When the Redis password is set using `--redis-pass-file` or `RQ_REDIS_PASS_FILE`, then `--redis-pass` and `RQ_REDIS_PASS` will be ignored
- The Sentinel port will default to the value of `--sentinel-port` if not set for each host with `--sentinel-host` or `RQ_SENTINEL_HOST`
## Serving with Gunicorn
The WSGI application can be created using the `rq_exporter.create_app()` function:
```sh
$ gunicorn "rq_exporter:create_app()" -b 0.0.0.0:9726 --log-level info
```
Example [`Dockerfile`](https://github.com/mdawar/rq-exporter/blob/master/Dockerfile.gunicorn) to create a **Docker** image to serve the application with **Gunicorn**
```dockerfile
FROM mdawar/rq-exporter:latest
USER root
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir gunicorn
USER exporter
ENTRYPOINT ["gunicorn", "rq_exporter:create_app()"]
CMD ["-b", "0.0.0.0:9726", "--threads", "2", "--log-level", "info", "--keep-alive", "3"]
```
**Note about concurrency**:
The exporter is going to work without any problems with multiple workers but you will get different values for these metrics:
- `rq_request_processing_seconds_count`
- `rq_request_processing_seconds_sum`
- `rq_request_processing_seconds_created`
This is fine if you don't care about these metrics, these are only for measuring the count and time processing the RQ data, so the other RQ metrics are not going to be affected.
But you can still use multiple threads with 1 worker process to handle multiple concurrent requests:
```sh
$ gunicorn "rq_exporter:create_app()" -b 0.0.0.0:9726 --threads 2
```
## Building the Docker Image
```sh
$ # Build the docker image and tag it rq-exporter:latest
$ docker build -t rq-exporter .
$ # Or
$ make build
$ # M1 MacOS Build the docker image and tag it rq-exporter:latest
$ docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 -t rq-exporter .
```
The image can also be built using `docker compose`:
```sh
$ docker compose build
```
Check the `compose.yml` file for usage example.
## Development
To start a full development environment with **RQ** workers, **Prometheus** and **Grafana**:
```sh
$ docker compose up
$ # If you want to start multiple workers use the --compatibility flag
$ # which will make docker compose read the `deploy` section and start multiple replicas
$ docker compose --compatibility up
```
You can access the services on these ports on your local machine:
- **RQ exporter**: [`9726`](http://localhost:9726)
- **Redis**: [`6379`](http://localhost:6379)
- **RQ Dashboard**: [`9181`](http://localhost:9181)
- **Prometheus**: [`9090`](http://localhost:9090)
- **Grafana**: [`3000`](http://localhost:3000) (Login using `admin:admin`)
You can specify the services that you want to start by their name in the `compose.yml` file:
```sh
$ # Example starting only the `rq_exporter` and `redis` services
$ docker compose up rq_exporter redis
```
To run more workers and enqueue more jobs you can scale the `worker` and `enqueue` services:
```sh
$ # Run 5 workers
$ docker compose up -d --scale worker=5
$ # Enqueue more jobs
$ # Scale the enqueue service and the workers
$ docker compose up -d --scale worker=5 --scale enqueue=2
```
To cleanup after development:
```sh
$ # Use -v to remove volumes
$ docker compose down -v
```
You can also start another `rq-exporter` instance that collects stats from a project using custom **RQ** `Worker` and `Queue` classes:
```sh
$ # Using -f to pass multiple compose files
$ # compose.custom.yml defines services using custom RQ classes
$ docker compose -f compose.yml -f compose.custom.yml up
$ # To cleanup you need to also pass the same files
$ docker compose -f compose.yml -f compose.custom.yml down
```
A new **RQ exporter** instance will be exposed on port `9727` on your local machine.
**Note**: If you don't have `docker compose` installed follow the [installation](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) instructions on the official website.
If you want to use the package manually:
