Package: celery-slack-webhooks
Celery-slack is aCeleryextension that posts messages to a Slack channel
regarding a Celery application, its beat schedule, and its worker task
execution. Optionally those messages can link toFlowertask pages.PrerequisitesTo use this package you will need a Slack App that is part of your
Slack workspace. You can create an App fromthis page. This App should have an incoming
webhook registered to one of your Slack channels. SeeSlack incoming webhooksfor more
information.InstallationCelery-slack is a python package available on pypi.
It can be installed usingpip:pipinstallcelery-slackBasic usageThe most basic implementation of celery-slack requires a Celery instance object
and a Slack webhook corresponding to a Slack channel. A simple example might
look something like this:fromceleryimportCeleryfromcelery_slackimportSlackifySLACK_WEBHOOK='https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXX/YYY/ZZZ'app=Celery('project')app.config_from_object('project.config')slack_app=Slackify(app,SLACK_WEBHOOK)if__name__=='__main__':app.start()Advanced usageCelery-slack offers a number of configuration options to customize the look
and output of Slack messages. The following are the default options of the
extension:DEFAULT_OPTIONS={"slack_beat_init_color":"#FFCC2B","slack_broker_connect_color":"#36A64F","slack_broker_disconnect_color":"#D00001","slack_celery_startup_color":"#FFCC2B","slack_celery_shutdown_color":"#660033","slack_task_prerun_color":"#D3D3D3","slack_task_success_color":"#36A64F","slack_task_failure_color":"#D00001","slack_request_timeout":1,"flower_base_url":None,"show_celery_hostname":False,"show_task_id":True,"show_task_execution_time":True,"show_task_args":True,"show_task_kwargs":True,"show_task_exception_info":True,"show_task_return_value":True,"show_task_prerun":False,"show_startup":True,"show_shutdown":True,"show_beat":True,"show_broker":False,"use_fixed_width":True,"include_tasks":None,"exclude_tasks":None,"failures_only":False,"webhook":None,"beat_schedule":None,"beat_show_full_task_path":False,}Any subset of these options can be passed to the constructor in the form
of keyword arguments. e.g.options={# Some subset of options}app=Celery('project')slack_app=Slackify(app,SLACK_WEBHOOK,**options)Most of the options are self explanatory, but here are some additional details:slack_*_color: The left vertical bar color associated with the slackmessage attachmentsslack_request_timeout: The Slack message request timeout in secondsflower_base_url: e.g.https://flower.example.com, if provided, the slackmessage titles will link to task pages
inFlowershow_task_id: Show the uuid for the task.show_task_execution_time: Show time to complete task in minutes/secondsshow_celery_hostname: Show the machine hostname on celery/beat messagesshow_task_args: Show the task’s argsshow_task_kwargs: Show the task’s keyword argsshow_task_exception_info: Show the traceback for failed tasksshow_task_return_value: Show the return value of a successful taskshow_task_prerun: Post messages at start of task executionshow_startup: Post message when celery startsshow_shutdown: Post message when celery stopsshow_beat: Post message when beat startsshow_broker: Post messages when celery/beat disconnect from or reconnectto the brokeruse_fixed_width: Use slack fixed width formatting for args, kwargs,retval, and exception infoinclude_tasks: A list of task paths to include. If used, post taskmessages only for these tasks. Uses regex pattern matching.
e.g.module.submodule.tasknamefor a specific task or
justmodule.submodulefor all tasks in that submodule. Cannot be used
in conjunction withexclude_tasks.exclude_tasks: A list of task paths to exclude. If used, suppress taskmessages only for these tasks. All other tasks will generate slack
messages. Cannot be used in conjunction withinclude_tasks. Uses
regex pattern matching.failures_only: Only post messages on task failures.webhook: The only required parameter. A slack webhook corresponding to aslack channel.beat_schedule: The celery beat schedule. If provided, the beat_initmessage will display the schedule.beat_show_full_task_path: Show the full module-task path. If False(default) only showsubmodule.taskname.WarningsNote that Slack hasrate limits for incoming webhook requestswhich is more or less 1 request per second.
This extension makes little effort to abide by these rate limits. You should
ensure that your implementation of celery-slack does not violate these limits
by adjusting your task schedule or restricting the set of tasks which generate
Slack messages using theinclude_tasksorexclude_tasksoptions.If a webhook response contains response code 429, celery-slack will suppress
all messages for a time period given by the Retry-After response header. Upon
returning, celery-slack will post a WARNING message to Slack.
