Yabeda::ActiveJob

Yabeda metrics around rails activejobs. The motivation came from wanting something similar to yabeda-sidekiq for resque but decided to generalize even more with just doing it on the activejob level since that is likely more in use than just resque. and could implement a lot of the general metrics needed without having to leverage the adapter implementation and, oh the redis calls.

Sample Grafana dashboard ID: 17303

The intent is to have this plugin with an exporter such as prometheus.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'yabeda-activejob'
# Then add monitoring system adapter, e.g.:
# gem 'yabeda-prometheus'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Registering metrics on server process start

Depending on your activejob adapter the installation process may be different for you. If using sidekiq:

# config/initializers/sidekiq or elsewhere
Sidekiq.configure_server do |_config|
    Yabeda::ActiveJob.install!
end

If using with resque:

# config/initializers/yabeda.rb or elsewhere
Yabeda::ActiveJob.install!

If using resque you may need to use yabeda-prometheus-mmap or set your storage type to direct file store so that the metrics are available to your collector.

To set your storage type to direct file store you can do the following in your yabeda initializer:

# config/initializers/yabeda.rb or elsewhere
Prometheus::Client.config.data_store = Prometheus::Client::DataStores::DirectFileStore.new(dir: "/tmp")

Note if using direct file datastore it must be called before registering any metrics.

If using resque with prometheus and scraping your resque process via the /metrics endpoint is unfeasible consider setting up a push gateway. Once set up, you can use the after_event_block to push metrics to your push gateway after every event is complete.

Yabeda.configure do
   Yabeda::ActiveJob.after_event_block = Proc.new do |event|
      # do your pushing or any custom code here
   end
   Yabeda::ActiveJob.install!
end

Note: Since the notifications are registered on install make sure to setup your after_event_block before calling install!

Metrics

• Total enqueued jobs: activejob.enqueued_total segmented by: queue, activejob(job class name), executions(number of executions)
• Total jobs processed: activejob.executed_total segmented by: queue, activejob(job class name), executions(number of executions)
• Total successful jobs processed: activejob.success_total segmented by: queue, activejob(job class name), executions(number of executions)
• Total failed jobs processed: activejob.failed_total segmented by: queue, activejob(job class name), executions(number of executions), failure_reason(error class)
• Job runtime: activejob.runtime (in seconds)
• Job latency: activejob.latency (in seconds)

Releasing

1. Bump version number in lib/yabeda/activejob/version.rb

In case of pre-releases keep in mind rubygems/rubygems#3086 and check version with command like Gem::Version.new(Yabeda::ActiveJob::VERSION).to_s

1. Fill CHANGELOG.md with missing changes, add header with version and date.

2. Make a commit:

   git add lib/yabeda/activejob/version.rb CHANGELOG.md
   version=$(ruby -r ./lib/yabeda/activejob/version.rb -e "puts Gem::Version.new(Yabeda::ActiveJob::VERSION)")
   git commit --message="${version}: " --edit

1. Create annotated tag:

   git tag v${version} --annotate --message="${version}: " --edit --sign

1. Fill version name into subject line and (optionally) some description (list of changes will be taken from changelog and appended automatically)

2. Push it:

   git push --follow-tags

1. GitHub Actions will create a new release, build and push gem into RubyGems! You're done!
