Keeps track of Sidekiq failed jobs and adds a tab to the Web UI to let you browse them. Makes use of Sidekiq's custom tabs and middleware chain.
It mimics the way Resque keeps track of failures.
TIP: Note that each failed job/retry might create a new failed job that will only be removed by you manually. This might result in a pretty big failures list depending on how you configure failures tracking in your workers.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'sidekiq-failures'
Depends on Sidekiq >= 2.2.1
Simply having the gem in your Gemfile is enough to get you started. Your failed jobs will be visible via a Failures tab in the Web UI.
Sidekiq-failures offers three failures tracking options (per worker):
Tracks failures everytime a background job fails. This mean a job with 25 retries enabled might generate up to 25 failure entries. If the worker has retry disabled only one failure will be tracked.
This is the default behavior but can be made explicit with:
class MyWorker
include Sidekiq::Worker
sidekiq_options :failures => true
def perform; end
end
Only track failures if the job exhausts all its retries (or doesn't have retries enabled).
You can set this mode as follows:
class MyWorker
include Sidekiq::Worker
sidekiq_options :failures => :exhausted
def perform; end
end
You can also completely turn off failures tracking for a given worker as follows:
class MyWorker
include Sidekiq::Worker
sidekiq_options :failures => false
def perform; end
end
- Allow triggering retry of specific failed jobs via Web UI.
