utgarda/sidekiq-status
an extension to the sidekiq message processing to track your jobs
A Sidekiq middleware gem that records each job's status, progress, and custom data in Redis, so a web request can check whether a background job has finished. It works with plain Sidekiq workers and ActiveJob, and adds a /statuses page to the Sidekiq web UI. This repo now only points to kenaniah/sidekiq-status, where 2.0.0 and later are maintained.
- Tracking is opt-in per worker through the Sidekiq::Status::Worker module (since 0.8.0), so jobs that don't need status pay no Redis cost.
- The progress API (total, at, message, pct_complete) plus store/retrieve covers the common progress-bar and per-job-data cases without much ceremony.
- The sidekiq-status/testing/inline helper stubs a :complete status for inline-run jobs, so tests that check status don't need a live Redis.
- The gemfiles cover Sidekiq 3.x through 5.x, and the ActiveJob integration is a two-line base-class change.
- Everything lives in Redis under a TTL that defaults to 30 minutes. After expiry a lookup returns nil, which looks the same as an unknown job ID, so anything needing history has to be stored elsewhere.
- Last push was June 2021 and the CI config is Travis and GitLab files, so whether the suite passes on current Sidekiq and Ruby is unverified.
- A job that dies mid-run can leave its last written :working status in Redis until the TTL clears it, so polling code has to handle stale state.
- As a pick, the repo itself is a redirect stub. Anyone who lands here gets a README and has to find the maintained fork to install anything.
