Utility to report RQ queue and worker status to AWS CloudWatch. It can be run either as a standalone utility or as a Docker container.

When run in a Docker container rq-cloudwatch runs as a service and getting the RQ info every INTERVAL seconds and reporting it to CloudWatch. The service is restarted automatically if it fails.

docker run -d quay.io/humu/rq-cloudwatch \
  -e AWS_REGION=... \
  -e REDIS_URL=... \
  -e ENVIRONMENT=... \
  -e INTERVAL=... \
  /sbin/my_init

where:

• AWS_REGION - CloudWatch AWS region name
• ENVIRONMENT - name of the RQ environment to report on, e.g., "prod-1"
• REDIS_URL - redis URL
• INTERVAL - how often to collect and report data, in seconds

It can report data once (good for cron job) or in a forever loop (good for running as a runit service). See help for details.
