Learn how to monitor Rails background jobs with Sidekiq, whenever gem, or ActiveJob.

Features

  • Works with Sidekiq, Resque, and DelayedJob
  • Whenever gem integration
  • ActiveJob lifecycle callbacks
  • Sidekiq Pro batch monitoring

Code Examples

Sidekiq Worker
class BackupWorker
  include Sidekiq::Worker

  def perform
    check_url = "https://haspulse.io/ping/#{ENV['BACKUP_CHECK_ID']}"

    # Signal start
    Net::HTTP.get(URI("#{check_url}/start"))

    begin
      DatabaseBackup.run
      Net::HTTP.get(URI(check_url))
    rescue => e
      Net::HTTP.get(URI("#{check_url}/fail"))
      raise
    end
  end
end

# Schedule with sidekiq-cron:
# Sidekiq::Cron::Job.create(
#   name: 'Backup - daily at 3am',
#   cron: '0 3 * * *',
#   class: 'BackupWorker'
# )
whenever gem
# config/schedule.rb
set :output, '/var/log/cron.log'

every 1.day, at: '3:00 am' do
  rake "db:backup",
    before: "curl -fsS https://haspulse.io/ping/YOUR_CHECK_ID/start",
    after: "curl -fsS https://haspulse.io/ping/YOUR_CHECK_ID"
end

every 5.minutes do
  command "rake queue:process && curl -fsS https://haspulse.io/ping/QUEUE_CHECK_ID"
end

How It Works

  1. 1
    Create a check in Haspulse
    Set your expected schedule (e.g., every 5 minutes)
  2. 2
    Add the ping to your code
    Ping the unique URL when your job runs successfully
  3. 3
    Get alerted on failures
    If a ping doesn't arrive on time, we notify you
