restricting hangfire to pick up jobs from a specific queue

Question

I have 2 hangfire instances/servers running. Both point to the same hangfire database. How do I restrict one of the hangfire instance to pick up only jobs from a specific queue and ignore other queues?

Thanks

When you start your instance, you can provide a list of queues to be watched by the server:

app.UseHangfireServer(new BackgroundJobServerOptions()
{
    // order defines priority
    // beware that queue names should be lowercase only
    Queues = new [] { "critical", "default", "myqueue" } 
});
