Delayed_job_web - a Resque Inspired Interface for Delayed_job

| Comments

delayed_job_web is a gem which will provide the Resque inspired interface for delayed_job. This gem will provide a nice interface for monitor all activities in delayed jobs instead of searching it in the database directly.
Some features:
  • Easily view jobs enqueued, working, pending, and failed.
  • Queue any single job. or all pending jobs, to run immediately.
  • Remove a failed job, or easily remove all failed jobs.
  • Watch delayed_job operation with live ajax polling.
  • Filter delayed_jobs by queue name.
Quick Start For Rails 5 Applications:

Add the dependency to your Gemfile and bundle it.

# More info - https://github.com/ejschmitt/delayed_job_web/issues/84
gem 'rack-protection', github: 'sinatra/sinatra'
gem 'sinatra', github: 'sinatra/sinatra'

Add the following route to your application for accessing the interface, and retrying failed jobs.

get '/delayed_job' => DelayedJobWeb, :anchor => false
put '/delayed_job' => DelayedJobWeb, :anchor => false

  get '/delayed_job' => DelayedJobWeb, :anchor => false
  put '/delayed_job' => DelayedJobWeb, :anchor => false

end
now web interface will be available only for super admin login.
