CLI help#

A terminal UI for Sidekiq.

USAGE
  lazykiq [--flags]

FLAGS
  --cpuprofile   write cpu profile to file
  --danger       enable dangerous operations
  --development  enable development diagnostics
  -h --help      help for lazykiq
  --redis        redis URL (redis://localhost:6379/0)
  -v --version   version for lazykiq

Connect to Redis#

Use the --redis flag with a Redis URL. The default is redis://localhost:6379/0.

lazykiq --redis redis://localhost:6379/0

Point to another host or database index by changing the URL:

lazykiq --redis redis://redis.internal:6379/2

Dangerous actions#

Lazykiq is read-only by default. To enable actions that change Sidekiq state, start it with --danger (alias: --yolo). This enables mutation operations such as deleting jobs from retry/scheduled/dead sets, killing retries (move to dead), deleting queues, and pausing or stopping processes. Use this flag only when you are comfortable writing to your Sidekiq Redis instance.

lazykiq --redis redis://localhost:6379/0 --danger

Dangerous actions always require confirmation. Use y/n, Enter, or Esc to confirm or cancel; Tab/Shift+Tab switches between buttons.

Development diagnostics#

Use --development only when debugging Lazykiq itself. This enables the internal dev console and extra diagnostics that are not intended for regular day-to-day monitoring. Toggle it in the UI with F12 or ~.
