Sidekiq queues administration API

Tier: Free, Premium, Ultimate Offering: Self-managed, GitLab Dedicated

Delete jobs from a Sidekiq queue that match the given metadata.

The response has three fields:

  1. deleted_jobs - the number of jobs deleted by the request.
  2. queue_size - the remaining size of the queue after processing the request.
  3. completed - whether or not the request was able to process the entire queue in time. If not, retrying with the same parameters may delete further jobs (including those added after the first request was issued).
