Lightrun for Celery

To run Celery with the Lightrun agent, follow these steps:

  1. In your application folder, install the Python agent by running python -m pip install lightrun.
  2. Add the following to the .py file where Celery is initiated (where there is a call to Celery(), usually celery.py).
    from celery.signals import task_prerun
    
    @task_prerun.connect()
    def task_prerun(**kwargs):
        try:
            import lightrun
            lightrun.enable(company="<COMPANY_NAME>" , company_key="<COMPANY_SECRET>")
        except ImportError as e:
            print("Error importing Lightrun: ", e)
    
  3. Run your Celery processes as normal.

Note

The Celery task_prerun signal dispatch before a task is executed. This signal ensures that a Lightrun agent has been created before the Celery task is executed.

Imp

You might need to provide the lightrun_extra_class_path configuration parameter to ensure that Lightrun is able to index all the functions.
