Grafana dashboard

[vitobotta]

Hi! Is there a ready dashboard for Grafana to display metrics regarding SolidQueue?

Hey @vitobotta, no, not for Solid Queue, but there's this one for Active Job.

Thanks @rosa! Tried it, but didn't work out since I'm using Prometheus Exporter rather than Yabeda. Guess I'll need to find another solution.

One option is to use Postgres directly as a source for Grafana and just run queries on the SolidQueue tables. However, there's no column that shows job duration. How can I figure out job durations then?

I really want to track job durations over time and spot the slowest jobs. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Ahhhh, not really. You can check finished_at and compare it with scheduled_at, but that would include the time waiting in the queue. Active Job instrumentation events are much better but they're not tracked in the DB, you'd need to subscribe to them somewhere, publish the metrics and create a custom collector to collect them 🤔

Got it, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I will definitely check out the instrumentation options.

By the way, are there any future plans to expose additional details or metrics with SolidQueue?

[rosa]

No specific plans besides the instrumentation that already exists but I'm definitely open to ideas there!

I see, thanks. Would be awesome to see some built in support for this in the future :)
