What specific questions do you have? Can we improve the description under each heading? What’s confusing?
The one that confused me is "delayed backlog": is that
- number of messages with still sitting in a delay queue before they can be consumed, or
- number of messages that were delayed and are now in queue to be consumed?
First one makes more logical sense, but the wording in the description line is suggesting the opposite, probably mostly because of the similarity:
Backlog:
Amount of messages that are waiting to be processed by the queue.Delayed backlog:
Amount of delayed messages that are waiting to be processed by the queue.
yep that’s basically where i got stuck.
i don’t have a dead letter queue setup nor do i have any of the messages set with a delay yet they’re in the delayed backlog?
if you zoom in on the time for backlog for example down to 24 hours it becomes even more confusing as it shows it going to 0 and then back to the total number. (maybe i was doing something wrong but it wasn’t obvious)
there's also no data on the smaller time periods for some reason and the charts dont have a way to switch between count and per second.
it would be nice to know that this is an issue vs leaving this up to new devs to work out on their own. i didnt get any alerts via email or anything within the dashboard. if it hadnt been keeping an eye on the dashboard i wouldnt have even known this was happening.
this feels more like "time to process" than a "delay" especially when delay is used elsewhere.
i get if a message hasnt been sent during that time but why not show 0 instead of "no data"
this is also always at 0 is that a bug? 👀
Hey. I'm passing this internally for the team to check
We're not sure if that's just because there aren't enough messages during the defined time to create a significant enough sample to generate metrics or not, but we've created a bug ticket to look into this
I have a queue that does 3.56/s according to the list, and 0/s if I click and check the same place as the screenshot
nope. it’s a bug. it shows it for the queue no matter what.
for example.
We can be more accurate here, but 99k over a week is 0.163/sec, which is (unfortunately) why it is rounded down to 0 / sec
We’ll work on fixing some of this. Please be patient.
(A lack of an immediate reply is not us ignoring you)
it shows 0/s on every single view though.
Sorry for the delay here, luna. This is now a known bug; we don't have an ETA on it yet, but we've added it to our backlog. Thank you for making us aware of it.
Hey @Todd@CF, you can use
/cfrole to get an orange cloud role and a shiny :cloudflare:
Thanks for the update!@luna A new update should have fixed this issue. We're now seeing queues with very low throughput showing those stats in the detail view
Thanks Todd, I can confirm it's showing up correctly now :MeowHeartCloudflare:
Thank you! 🧡
