Configuration¶

LIVEWATCH_EXTENSIONS¶

If you want to use it with cache or django-celery or django-rq you have to update the LIVEWATCH_EXTENSIONS setting.

Make sure that you have a cache installed and configured.

# Example with cache support
LIVEWATCH_EXTENSIONS = (
    'livewatch.extensions.cache:CacheExtension',
)

Make sure that you have celery installed. You can use the celery extra target for that.

$ pip install django-livewatch[celery]

# Example with celery support
LIVEWATCH_EXTENSIONS = (
    'livewatch.extensions.rq:CeleryExtension',
)

Celery has to be configured in your project.celery module that defines the celery app. For more details see the official celery documentation.

Please make sure to load tasks from INSTALLED_APPS:

app.autodiscover_tasks(lambda: settings.INSTALLED_APPS)

If you don’t load all tasks from the INSTALLED_APPS setting, please use CELERY_IMPORTS to register the livewatch tasks.

# In settings.py
# Activate livewatch.tasks
CELERY_IMPORTS = (
    'livewatch.tasks',
)

Make sure that you have rq installed. You can use the rq extra target for that.

$ pip install django-livewatch[rq]

# Example with rq support
LIVEWATCH_EXTENSIONS = (
    'livewatch.extensions.rq:RqExtension',
)

Hint

If you use celery or rq, you have to ensure that a cache is running!

For details on writing your own extensions, please see the Extending Livewatch section.
