Cronitor::ActiveJob

Cronitor provides dead simple monitoring for cron jobs, daemons, queue workers, websites, APIs, and anything else that can send or receive an HTTP request. The Cronitor ActiveJob library provides a drop in integration for monitoring any ActiveJob job.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'cronitor_activejob'

And then bundle:

$ bundle

Usage

Configure cronitor with an API Key from your settings. You can use ENV variables to configure Cronitor:

export CRONITOR_API_KEY='api_key_123'
export CRONITOR_ENVIRONMENT='development' #default: 'production'

Or declare the API key directly on the Cronitor module from within your application (e.g. with an initializer).

require 'cronitor'
Cronitor.api_key = 'api_key_123'
Cronitor.environment = 'development' #default: 'production'

To monitor jobs include the module in your job class

class MyJob < ApplicationJob
  include Cronitor::ActiveJob
end

When this job is invoked, Cronitor will send telemetry pings with a key matching the name of your job class (MyJob in the example above). If no monitor exists it will create one on the first event. You can configure rules at a later time via the Cronitor dashboard, API, or YAML config file.

Optional: You can specify the monitor key directly using cronitor_key:

class MyJob < ApplicationJob
  include Cronitor::ActiveJob
  cronitor_key 'abc123'

  def perform
  end
end

To disable Cronitor for a specific job you can set the following option:

class MyJob < ApplicationJob
  include Cronitor::ActiveJob
  cronitor_disabled: true

  def perform
  end
end

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
