Celery queues monitoring in Datadog - Andrey Zhukov's Tech Blog

If you have Redis integration in Datadog, there is an easy way to add monitoring for celery queues.

Here is an example for docker-compose

version: "3.6"
services:
  ...
  redis:
    image: redis:5.0.4-alpine
    labels:
      com.datadoghq.ad.check_names: '["redisdb"]'
      com.datadoghq.ad.init_configs: "[{}]"
      com.datadoghq.ad.instances: '[{"host": "redis", "port": 6379, "warn_on_missing_keys": false, "keys": ["celery", "your_queue1", "your_queue2"]}]'
  ddagent:
    image: datadog/agent:latest
    environment:
      - DD_API_KEY=...
      ...
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
      - /proc/:/host/proc/:ro
      - /sys/fs/cgroup:/host/sys/fs/cgroup:ro
