Why are there 2 workers running when I set the settings to just 1?

[igalci]

I set my settings to:

Q_CLUSTER = { 'workers': 1,}

But when seeing my logs, I see:

INFO Process-13e34c004f7246948616f2901f839ca5 processing ... INFO Process-68e7765c38374543a4e7f844f7534967 created task thirteen-skylark-east-tennessee from ....

So I assume there are actually 2 workers running? why?

Could you share your full Q_CLUSTER config? I have never seen that happen before.

[igalci]

Here it is:

Q_CLUSTER = { 'name': 'DjangoQ', 'workers': 1, 'timeout': 300, 'retry': 600, 'recycle':15, 'orm': 'default', "ack_failures": True, # do not restart failed tasks 'poll': 2, "catch_up": False, #don't repeat all missed tasks }

Oh wait, I see it now.

There are actually 4 processes running at minimum:

• Monitor (stores results from the completed tasks
• Worker (at least 1)
• Scheduler (schedules new tasks based on schedule)
• Guard (restarts workers when necessary)

In the logs you showed, there is one worker process and one scheduler process. So it looks like it's still running only one worker process.

[igalci]

Oh right. Looking closer, one of the workers only creates tasks, and the other processes them. Its ok then.

Is there a way to make my log more reader friendly by not showing the Process-13e34c004f7246948616f2901f839ca5 before every task? or giving the workers a shorter name?

Not right now. I think it would be cool to have a format option for logs though.

Maybe submit as an enhancement request?

Not right now. I think it would be cool to have a format option for logs though.

How would be this format option?
