System load, bluepill & delayed job.

[Rutger]

Hi all,

I'm using bluepill, like many, to monitor delayed_job. But when i
start bluepill cpu load will get between 5 and 10. I've struggled a
few days to get it to work and i'm curious if this high cpu load is
due to my bluepill config or just delayed_job running.

See my config below:

APP_ROOT='/home/myuser/webapps/myapp'
workers = 1
Bluepill.application("incult_delayed_job", :log_file => "#{APP_ROOT}/
log/bluepill.log") do |app|
(0...workers).each do |i|
app.process("delayed_job.#{i}") do |process|
process.working_dir = "#{APP_ROOT}"

process.start_grace_time = 30.seconds
process.stop_grace_time = 10.seconds
process.restart_grace_time = 10.seconds

process.start_command = "cd #{APP_ROOT} && RAILS_ENV=production
ruby script/delayed_job start -i #{i}"
process.stop_command = "cd #{APP_ROOT} && RAILS_ENV=production
ruby script/delayed_job stop -i #{i}"

process.pid_file = "#{APP_ROOT}/pids/delayed_job.#{i}.pid"
process.daemonize = true

process.checks :cpu_usage, :every => 10.seconds, :below => 5, :times
=> 3

process.uid = "myapp"
process.gid = "myapp"
end
end
end

If anyone does know or have the same experience i would like to hear
from you. I get very nervous having a system load like this all the
time :)

Regards,

Rutger
