@codingjoe Is there a contributing doc that I should be looking at? I can't seem to find how to request a review from a maintainer. Thanks. |

@skarzi Can I please get a review on this? I've had this open for a long time. |

Why using django_celery_beat is required? Have you checked if this check could be implemented based only on celery?

Let's use the current_app proxy to get the currently used app, not the default one (fallback one)
Also, I think (but haven't tested it) that this import can be moved to the root module imports section because current_app is just a proxy.

Let's try to get rid of Any in type hintings because it makes them too vague

Let's use Exception or narrow possible exception type even more

Why not isinstance(celery_scheduler, ...)?

Is this PR going to be updated or merged sooner o later? It will be very good to also have a checker for celery-beat. |

@sevdog Hey, sorry I got busy and did not update the author's feedback. Do you want to finish it up? Or I can try to get to it in a few weeks, but no promises. |

Hi @Maker-Mark, currently I also have few spare time to work on this. I was just trying to ping for more help regarding celery support in this package. Feel free to work on this when you get some time! |
Overview of Health Check beat_health_check
The CeleryBeatHealth Check:
Checks for overdue tasks in a celery beat scheduler.
Uses the scheduler module dotted path that is specified in settings.py with
CELERY_BEAT_SCHEDULER.If not specified, defaults to
django_celery_beat'sdjango_celery_beat.schedulers.DatabaseScheduler.Allows a custom buffer to be set using
BEAT_HEALTH_CHECK_BUFFER_SECONDSin settings.py. The bufferdefaults to 30 seconds if not defined. The buffer will offset the scheduler interval for when due
tasks are processed. Using a buffer avoids false positives, such as the case where a task is
technically due according to the scheduler, but that's only because the scheduler has not hit its
interval to check and process due tasks.
I would love a review on this check and will be happy to address comments in a timely fashion.
Thanks!
