Are there console commands to look at whats in the queue and to clear the queue in Sidekiq?

There is an ergonomic API for viewing and managing queues.

It is not required by default.

require 'sidekiq/api'

Here's the excerpt:

# get a handle to the default queue
default_queue = Sidekiq::Queue.new 

# get a handle to the mailer queue
mailer_queue = Sidekiq::Queue.new("mailer") 

# How many jobs are in the default queue?
default_queue.size # => 1001

# How many jobs are in the mailer queue?
mailer_queue.size # => 50

#Deletes all Jobs in a Queue, by removing the queue.    
default_queue.clear

You can also get some summary statistics.

stats = Sidekiq::Stats.new

# Get the number of jobs that have been processed.
stats.processed # => 100

# Get the number of jobs that have failed.    
stats.failed # => 3

# Get the queues with name and number enqueued.
stats.queues # => { "default" => 1001, "email" => 50 }

#Gets the number of jobs enqueued in all queues (does NOT include retries and scheduled jobs).
stats.enqueued # => 1051 

I haven't ever used Sidekiq, so it's possible that there are methods just for viewing the queued jobs, but they would really just be wrappers around Redis commands, since that's basically all Sidekiq (and Resque) is:

# See workers
Sidekiq::Client.registered_workers

# See queues
Sidekiq::Client.registered_queues

# See all jobs for one queue
Sidekiq.redis { |r| r.lrange "queue:app_queue", 0, -1 }

# See all jobs in all queues
Sidekiq::Client.registered_queues.each do |q|
  Sidekiq.redis { |r| r.lrange "queue:#{q}", 0, -1 }
end

# Remove a queue and all of its jobs
Sidekiq.redis do |r| 
  r.srem "queues", "app_queue"
  r.del  "queue:app_queue"
end

Unfortunately, removing a specific job is a little more difficult as you'd have to copy its exact value:

# Remove a specific job from a queue
Sidekiq.redis { |r| r.lrem "queue:app_queue", -1, "the payload string stored in Redis" }

You could do all of this even more easily via redis-cli :

$ redis-cli
> select 0 # (or whichever namespace Sidekiq is using)
> keys * # (just to get an idea of what you're working with)
> smembers queues
> lrange queues:app_queue 0 -1
> lrem queues:app_queue -1 "payload"

if there is any scheduled job. You may delete all the jobs using the following command:

Sidekiq::ScheduledSet.new.clear

if there any queues you wanted to delete all jobs you may use the following command:

  Sidekiq::Queue.new.clear

Retries Jobs can be removed by the following command also:

Sidekiq::RetrySet.new.clear

There is a API for accessing real-time information about workers, queues and jobs.
