Softer Messenger Monitor Bundle

Symfony bundle that monitors Messenger queues by reading worker status directly from Supervisor. No cache, no heartbeats, no race conditions - just asks Supervisor every time (via supervisorctl or XML-RPC over HTTP).

What it does

• Gets worker status from Supervisor with start/stop/restart control (via CLI or HTTP)
• Counts pending messages per queue (Doctrine transport)
• Tracks message processing history: handled, failed, retried - with duration and memory usage
• Lists failed messages with retry/remove
• Auto-detects queue names from your Messenger transport config

Everything is available as PHP services, Twig functions, and JSON API. No UI - you build your own admin pages.

Requirements

• PHP 8.2+
• Symfony 7.0+ / 8.0+
• Supervisor
• Doctrine DBAL (for queue stats and history)

Installation

composer require softlab/messenger-monitor-bundle

Configuration

Works out of the box with zero config. Queue names are auto-detected from your framework.messenger.transports, history table is created automatically on first message.

Override defaults only if you need to:

# config/packages/softlab_messenger_monitor.yaml
softlab_messenger_monitor:
    supervisor:
        supervisorctl_path: supervisorctl   # path to binary
        process_group: ~                    # filter by group (null = all)
        url: ~                              # XML-RPC URL (see below)
    queue:
        connection: default                 # Doctrine DBAL connection
        table_name: messenger_messages
    history:
        enabled: true                       # message processing history
        table_name: messenger_monitor_history

Usage

PHP services

use SoftLab\MessengerMonitorBundle\Supervisor\SupervisorManagerInterface;
use SoftLab\MessengerMonitorBundle\Queue\QueueStatsProviderInterface;
use SoftLab\MessengerMonitorBundle\Failed\FailedMessageManager;
use SoftLab\MessengerMonitorBundle\History\MessageHistoryProviderInterface;

class DashboardController
{
    public function index(
        SupervisorManagerInterface $supervisor,
        QueueStatsProviderInterface $queueStats,
        FailedMessageManager $failedMessages,
        MessageHistoryProviderInterface $history,
    ): Response {
        $workers = $supervisor->getWorkers();       // WorkerInfo[]
        $queues = $queueStats->getQueues();         // QueueInfo[]
        $failed = $failedMessages->list();          // FailedMessage[]

        $entries = $history->getHistory(50);         // MessageHistoryEntry[]
        $stats = $history->getStats();              // ['handled' => N, 'failed' => N, 'retried' => N]
        $byQueue = $history->getStatsByQueue();     // ['async' => ['handled' => N, ...], ...]
        // ...
    }
}

Twig

Requires symfony/twig-bundle.

{% for worker in messenger_workers() %}
    {{ worker.name }}: {{ worker.status }} (PID {{ worker.pid }})
{% endfor %}

{% for queue in messenger_queues() %}
    {{ queue.name }}: {{ queue.messageCount }} pending
{% endfor %}

{{ messenger_failed_count() }} failed messages
{{ messenger_total_pending() }} messages in queues

{% set stats = messenger_history_stats() %}
Handled: {{ stats.handled }}, Failed: {{ stats.failed }}, Retried: {{ stats.retried }}

{% for entry in messenger_history(20) %}
    {{ entry.shortClass }}: {{ entry.status }} ({{ entry.durationMs }}ms, {{ entry.memoryBytes }} bytes)
{% endfor %}

JSON API

Import routes in your app:

# config/routes/softlab_messenger_monitor.yaml
softlab_messenger_monitor:
    resource: '@SoftLabMessengerMonitorBundle/config/routes.php'

Method	Path	Description
GET	/summary	Workers, queues, failed count
GET	/workers	Supervisor worker list
POST	/workers/{name}/start	Start worker
POST	/workers/{name}/stop	Stop worker
POST	/workers/{name}/restart	Restart worker
GET	/queues	Pending messages per queue
GET	/failed	Failed messages
POST	/failed/{id}/retry	Retry failed message
DELETE	/failed/{id}	Remove failed message
GET	/history	Processing history with stats

All paths are relative to /api/messenger-monitor.

Supervisor connection

By default the bundle runs supervisorctl on the local machine. If Supervisor is on a remote host or you don't want to shell out, use the HTTP adapter - it talks to Supervisor's XML-RPC interface.

Two transport options:

HTTP (inet_http_server)

Enable inet_http_server in your supervisord.conf:

[inet_http_server]
port = 127.0.0.1:9001

softlab_messenger_monitor:
    supervisor:
        url: 'http://127.0.0.1:9001/RPC2'

Requires symfony/http-client:

composer require symfony/http-client

Unix socket

Works with the default unix_http_server - no extra config in Supervisor needed:

softlab_messenger_monitor:
    supervisor:
        url: 'unix:///var/run/supervisor.sock'

No extra dependencies required.

Both options support %env()%:

softlab_messenger_monitor:
    supervisor:
        url: '%env(SUPERVISOR_URL)%'

When url is set, supervisorctl_path is ignored.

Message history

Every processed message is recorded with:

• message class and queue name
• status: handled, failed, or retried
• processing duration (ms) and memory delta (bytes)
• error message (for failed/retried)

The messenger_monitor_history table is created automatically when the first message is processed. Disable with history.enabled: false if you don't need it.

Demo

The demo/ directory has a working Symfony app with Supervisor workers in Docker. Three panels: message producer, worker status with controls, queue stats. History panel with status and queue filters.

docker compose run --rm demo composer install
docker compose up demo
# http://localhost:8080
