Is there a way to retry a job that has been removed from Dead Job queue?

Since Sidekiq's dead job queue has a capacity of 10,000. I sometimes run Batch Job that runs Jobs for a million records at a time and the failures pop up anywhere from 10k to 20k.

Since not all of the jobs are seen in the dead job queue, I cannot retry all of them and have to run the maintenance task all over again.

Is there a way to re-run all of the failures either with the Sidekiq UI or with Rails console?

Solution

  • It sounds like you are disabling normal retries. Use the normal retry flow, this will work without issue.
