Celery Exporter

Celery Exporter is a Prometheus metrics exporter for Celery 4, written in python.

Here the list of exposed metrics:

• celery_tasks_total exposes the number of tasks currently known to the queue labeled by name, state, queue and namespace.
• celery_tasks_runtime_seconds tracks the number of seconds tasks take until completed as histogram labeled by name, queue and namespace
• celery_tasks_latency_seconds exposes a histogram of task latency, i.e. the time until tasks are picked up by a worker
• celery_workers exposes the number of currently probably alive workers

Requirements

Dependencies

The project comes with redis lib already installed, you have to install any other dependency in case you are using other brokers.

Celery app

Celery workers have to be configured to send task-related events: http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/userguide/configuration.html#worker-send-task-events.

Celery Exporter is able to enable events on your workers (see Command Options).

Usage: celery-exporter [OPTIONS]

Options:
  -b, --broker-url TEXT      URL to the Celery broker.  [env var:
                             CELERY_EXPORTER_BROKER_URL; default:
                             redis://redis:6379/0]
  -l, --listen-address TEXT  Address the HTTPD should listen on.  [env var:
                             CELERY_EXPORTER_LISTEN_ADDRESS; default:
                             0.0.0.0:9540]
  -m, --max-tasks INTEGER    Tasks cache size.  [env var:
                             CELERY_EXPORTER_MAX_TASKS; default: 10000]
  -n, --namespace TEXT       Namespace for metrics.  [env var:
                             CELERY_EXPORTER_NAMESPACE; default: celery]
  --transport-options TEXT   JSON object with additional options passed to the
                             underlying transport.
  --enable-events            Periodically enable Celery events.
  --tz TEXT                  Timezone used by the celery app.
  --verbose                  Enable verbose logging.
  --version                  Show the version and exit.
  --help                     Show this message and exit.

If you then look at the exposed metrics, you should see something like this:
