Operating the Dashboard
What operators can inspect and manage in Bullstudio.
Bullstudio shows navigation based on the supplied or discovered queues and the adapter capabilities available to the dashboard.
Overview
Use Overview to check queue health at a glance.
Common checks:
- queue count and the selected queue filter
- waiting, active, completed, failed, delayed, and paused counts
- recent throughput and failures
- Redis/provider status in standalone mode
- queue source status in embedded mode
If Redis is empty, standalone mode shows an empty state until a Bull or BullMQ queue writes data.
Jobs
Use Jobs to inspect and manage individual jobs.
Available filters:
- queue
- job name search
- status tabs: all, waiting, active, completed, failed, delayed, waiting children
Typical workflow:
- Filter to
Failed. - Open the job.
- Check
data,failedReason,stacktrace, attempts, timestamps, and logs. - Retry or remove the job if mutations are allowed.
Flows
The Flows page appears when at least one supplied or discovered queue supports BullMQ flows.
BullMQ flow support includes:
- flow list
- root job status
- total, completed, and failed child counts
- tree view from parent to children
- job navigation from flow nodes
Bull v4 adapters do not expose flows.
Mutating operations
These operations require adapter support and readOnly: false:
| Operation | BullMQ | Bull |
|---|---|---|
| Retry job | yes | yes |
| Remove job | yes | yes |
| Pause queue | yes | yes |
| Resume queue | yes | yes |
If readOnly: true, Bullstudio rejects mutations server-side.
