Support for UI

[dennyabrain]

Hey I could not find it in the doc or code but is there Support for a UI built into BullMQ?

If not could you guide me a bit on how I could start to build a basic UI that lets me see all the jobs and its associated parameters?

The api is similar enough to v3 that you could probably start with Arena and have something basic with a few days (hours?) of hacking.

FWIW i'm working on a dashboard specifically for v4 that should be available shortly, modulo vacations

Until https://taskforce.sh supports BullMQ you can use something like https://github.com/joeferner/redis-commander
It will nicely show all the queues in folders and the jobs inside them.

Thank you for the response everyone. Sounds promising.
will follow thread for progress on this or if I make any progress.

I found that bull-board already supports bullMQ, but the current version of NPM is not the latest, you have to build it yourself

@ccollie did you finish the ui?

also https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/monitor-sidekiq-with-datadog/

what about talking with Datadog so they build something that gets people to buy their services? @manast

[manast]

@talkl this is what we are building in https://taskforce.sh, which btw is now compatible with BullMQ.

[talkl]

will have a look. you should advertise it more, since it's not the first thing that comes to mind @manast

[manast]

@talkl it is mentioned on the README. Do you have any suggestion where you think it would be more visible?

[talkl]

@manast Taskforce.sh sponsors BullMQ development, please consider using it for your front end and/or hosting needs.
doesn't say what Taskforce.sh is. When i looked at this phrase i thought it is some kind of a cloud provider for hosting websites. Be more precise what do they offer. Also "...please consider..." doesn't sound very promising, i would put the points of strength that the service offers, with testimonials.

Like most people, the current wetware bug has stalled progress on the UI, but I've been working heavily on monitoring/alerting functionality (I took some inspiration from Datadog and others). All this is exposed with over GraphQL.

I'm investing in tests at the moment, and as soon as the code is presentable I'll post some news.

I subscribed to Taskforce.sh to monitor our bullmq jobs, and I confirm it works fine :
