celery.events.state

Event dispatcher sends events.

class celery.events.dispatcher.EventDispatcher(connection=None, hostname=None, enabled=True, channel=None, buffer_while_offline=True, app=None, serializer=None, groups=None, delivery_mode=1, buffer_group=None, buffer_limit=24, on_send_buffered=None)

Dispatches event messages.

Parameters:

• connection (kombu.Connection) – Connection to the broker.
• hostname (str) – Hostname to identify ourselves as, by default uses the hostname returned by anon_nodename().
• groups (Sequence[str]) – List of groups to send events for. send() will ignore send requests to groups not in this list. If this is None, all events will be sent. Example groups include "task" and "worker".
• enabled (bool) – Set to False to not actually publish any events, making send() a no-op.
• channel (kombu.Channel) – Can be used instead of connection to specify an exact channel to use when sending events.
• buffer_while_offline (bool) – If enabled events will be buffered while the connection is down. flush() must be called as soon as the connection is re-established.

Note

You need to close() this after use.

DISABLED_TRANSPORTS = {'sql'}

app = None

close()

disable()

enable()

extend_buffer(other)

Copy the outbound buffer of another instance.

flush(errors=True, groups=True)

Flush the outbound buffer.

on_disabled = None

on_enabled = None

publish(type, fields, producer, blind=False, Event=<function Event>, **kwargs)

Publish event using custom Producer.

Parameters:

• type (str) – Event type name, with group separated by dash (-). fields: Dictionary of event fields, must be json serializable.
• producer (kombu.Producer) – Producer instance to use: only the publish method will be called.
• retry (bool) – Retry in the event of connection failure.
• retry_policy (Mapping) – Map of custom retry policy options. See ensure().
• blind (bool) – Don’t set logical clock value (also don’t forward the internal logical clock).
• Event (Callable) – Event type used to create event. Defaults to Event().
• utcoffset (Callable) – Function returning the current utc offset in hours.
