I'm running celery worker with some concurrency level (e.g. 4) under supervisord:
[program:wgusf-wotwgs1.celery]
command=/home/httpd/wgusf-wotwgs1/app/bin/celery -A roles.frontend worker -c 4 -l info
directory=/home/httpd/wgusf-wotwgs1/app/src
numprocs=1
stdout_logfile=/home/httpd/wgusf-wotwgs1/logs/supervisor_celery.log
stderr_logfile=/home/httpd/wgusf-wotwgs1/logs/supervisor_celery.log
autostart=true
autorestart=true
startsecs=3
killasgroup=true
stopsignal=QUIT
user=wgusf-wotwgs1
Problem is next: some part of stdout messages from worker (about successful execution of tasks/receiving tasks) are missing in logfile. But while running celery worker with the same concurrency level from shell - everything seems ok, messages are steadily appearing for all the tasks.
Any ideas how to fix this behavior?
I think it's because by default celery reports things to stderr instead of stdout

I have a problem with Celery. I have set Celery to run demonized. This is the command:
/home/user/sitios/incidencias/env/bin/python3 -m celery worker --concurrency=4 --time-limit=200 --app=incidencias --loglevel=INFO --logfile=/var/log/celery/worker1%I.log --pidfile …
The problem is that celery run too many processes and finally collapse the system.
Here a htop snapshot:
I have set a time-limit of 200 but it seems be ignored. How can I prevent this? I'm noob with celery.
Note: I have tasks calling tasks.
I'm running Celery in a small instance in AWS Elastic Beanstalk.
However, when I do top, I see there are 3 celery processes running. I want to have only.
I'm running this using supervisor and in my config file I have (only showing relevant lines):
[program:celeryd]
directory=/opt/python/current/app/src
command=/opt/python/run/venv/bin/celery worker -A ..."
user=celery
numprocs=1
killasgroup=true
I've also followed the suggestion in this answer and created a file /etc/default/celeryd with this content:
# Extra arguments to celeryd
CELERYD_OPTS="--concurrency=1"
After restarting Celery (with supervisorctl -c config-file-path.conf restart celeryd), I see the 3 processes again. Any ideas? Thanks!
You are starting worker with celery command. Changing /etc/default/celeryd won't have any effect on celery command. Moreover celeryd is deprecated.
When a worker is started, celery launches a default process and n(concurrency) subprocesses.
You can start the worker with
[program:celery]
command=/opt/python/run/venv/bin/celery worker -c 1 -A foo"
This will start a worker with concurrency of 1 and there will be 2 processes.
I'm trying to start multiple workers on my server with command from celery docs celery multi start Leslie -E.
But it only shows:
celery multi v3.1.17 (Cipater)
> Starting nodes...
> Leslie#test: OK
and exits.
And there are no workers in output of ps aux | grep celery.
Also I tried to start it on local machine and it works fine, I see 5 workers as expected.
So, what is the reason?
I had unsatisfactory results with the celery multi command. I think that supervisord works a lot better. You can find an example supervisord config file here
I am running a VPS on Digital Ocean with Ubuntu 14.04.
I setup supervisor to run a bash script to export environment vars and then start celery:
#!/bin/bash
DJANGODIR=/webapps/myproj/myproj
# Activate the virtual environment
cd $DJANGODIR
source ../bin/activate
export REDIS_URL="redis://localhost:6379"
...
celery -A connectshare worker --loglevel=info --concurrency=1
Now I've noticed that supervisor does not seem to be killing these processes when I do supervisorctl stop. Furthermore, when I try to manually kill the processes they won't stop. How can I set up a better script for supervisor and how can I kill the processes that are running?
You should configurate the stopasgroup=true option into supervisord.conf file.
Because you just not only kill the parent process but also the child process.
Sending kill -9 have to kill process. If supervisorctl stop doesn't stop your process you can try setting up stopsignal to one of other values, for example QUIT or KILL.
You can see more in supervisord documentation.
I can't stop my celery worker using Supervisord, in the config file, it looks like this:
command=/usr/local/myapp/src/manage.py celery worker --concurrency=1 --loglevel=INFO
and when I try to stop it using the following command:
sudo service supervisord stop
It shows that the worker has stopped, while it is not.
One more problem, when you restart a program outside supervisord scope, it totally loses control over that program, because of the parent-child relationship between supervisord and its child processes
My question is: how to run celery workers using Monit?
