How to configure Celery to send email alerts when tasks fail?

How is it possible to configure celery to send email alerts when tasks are failing?

For example I want Celery to notify me when more than 3 tasks fail or more than 10 tasks are being retried.

Is it possible using celery or a utility (e.g. flower) or I have to write my own plugin?

Solution

  • Yes, all you need to do is set CELERY_SEND_TASK_ERROR_EMAILS = True and if Celery process fails django will send message with traceback to all emails set in ADMINS settings.
