Gearman monitoring
cachedout
I'm curious what people have done to monitor Gearman. Specifically,
I'm interested in ways to determine the number of enqueued tasks and
the number of workers connected.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Check out the thread from last week on debugging:
http://groups.google.com/group/gearman/browse_thread/thread/8f55fe66cbcac668
In it I mention a few text-based commands such as 'status' and
'workers' to get monitoring information. There are also two projects in
the works that will help. One to enhance the statistics information you
can retrieve from the job server (probably two or three releases out).
The other is still in discussion mode, but it would provide monitoring
of Gearman nodes and act as an angel process for other gearman
workers. Eventually it would also handle dynamic scalability and
code upgrades. It will be service for Gearman written using Gearman
workers. Keep an eye out on the mailing list looking for feedback as
this idea matures and gets going.
