Queue details view shows stale Redis statistics #218

Open Rua-Yuki opened 4 years ago

Node version: 10.19.0 Arena version: 2.8.1 Bull version: 3.13.0 ioredis version: 4.16.3


The queue details view appears to present stale data within the "Redis Statistics" table.

Metrics shown are consistent throughout the life of a given Arena middleware instance and fail to update as additional clients connect and resources are used: connected_clients, used_memory, and other fields do not reflect the current state of Redis, but rather the state upon first loading.

This issue appears to stem from the reliance on an undocumented behaviour of the queue's Redis client, which is evidently no longer demonstrated given the current ioredis release.

It seems a helper assumes that issuing a Redis INFO query has the client's serverInfo object updated:

https://github.com/bee-queue/arena/blob/744120be371291c8ca781930c3096117238f159f/src/server/views/helpers/queueHelpers.js#L33-L35

Unfortunately such is not the case, and ioredis updates the serverInfo object only after initially entering a ready state, and only provided enableReadyCheck is truthy.

Due to the inconsistency regarding this serverInfo field, I suggest the result of the INFO query be parsed directly to extract the necessary information and ensure up-to-date stats are presented.

It may be worth noting that this reliance on the queue's client.serverInfo field being updated after an INFO query was broken beginning with Bull 2.0.0, as a result of this version switching to ioredis from node-redis.

The expected behaviour is still demonstrated by node-redis.
