Is there any way in Celery to remove all previous task results via command line? Everything I can find references purge, but that doesn't seem to be for task results. Other solutions I have found include using a Celery beat which periodically removes it, but I'm looking for a one-off command line solution.
I use Celery 4.3.0.
Here's what you're looking for I think:
https://github.com/celery/celery/issues/4656
referencing
https://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/userguide/configuration.html#std:setting-result_expires
I set this up as follows:
RESULT_EXPIRE_TIME = 60 * 60 * 4 # keep tasks around for four hours ... celery = celery.Celery('tasks', broker=Config.BROKER_URL, backend=Config.CELERY_RESULTS_BACKEND, include=['tasks.definitions'], result_expires=RESULT_EXPIRE_TIME) So based on this answer: How do I delete everything in Redis?
With redis-cli:
FLUSHDB - Removes data from your connection's CURRENT database. FLUSHALL - Removes data from ALL databases. Redis documentation:
flushdb flushall For example, in your shell:
redis-cli flushall
and try to purge celery as well. From celery doc: http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/faq.html?highlight=purge#how-do-i-purge-all-waiting-tasks
