I'm having trouble getting this test to report data. I do see the PIDs when I look at agent runs so it appears things are working. Just not seeing any data on the Overview graph, in Non-web or the Background jobs tab.

I've tried this with and without the decorator in the test.py file. I've also tried adjusting the timeouts in the newrelic_hooks_application_rq.py file.

I'm running this using python work.py

Key things

1. Calling Queue.enqueue() just puts a job in the Redis queue. It doesn't run the job.

2. I added a script called rq_worker.py which will listen for jobs put into the Redis queue, and then execute them. To try out the example, you should have 2 terminal windows open. In one, run rq_worker.py (make sure the NEW_RELIC_CONFIG_FILE environment variable is set in this terminal.) In the other, run python work.py to put a job in the Redis queue.

3. Make sure you have the following lines in your newrelic.ini file:

   [import-hook:rq.worker] enabled = true execute = newrelic_hooks_application_rq:instrument_rq_worker

   [import-hook:rq.job] enabled = true execute = newrelic_hooks_application_rq:instrument_rq_job

4. If you look in the newrelic_hooks_application_rq.py file, you can see the two key parts of instrumentation happening:

   • perform_job registers the application before executing the job, and forces harvest after execution.

   • perform calls the job with a BackgroundTask context manager, which records the metrics for that particular job.
