Log execution time for every Celery task, working on Celery 3.1.x.

time_celery_task.py

import logging
import time

from celery import shared_task as orig_shared_task


def timeit(func):
    """A decorator used to log the function execution time."""
    logger = logging.getLogger('tasks')

    # Use functools.wraps to ensure function name is not changed
    # http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13492603/celery-task-with-multiple-decorators-not-auto-registering-task-name
    @functools.wraps(func)
    def wrap(*args, **kwargs):
        start = time.time()
        result = func(*args, **kwargs)
        dur = time.time() - start
        msg = {
            'task_name': func.__module__ + '.' + func.__name__,
            'duration': dur,

            # Use 'task_args' instead of 'args' because 'args' conflicts with
            # attribute of LogRecord
            'task_args': args,
            'task_kwargs': kwargs
        }
        logger.info('%s %.2fs', func.__name__, dur, extra=msg)
        return result

    return wrap


def shared_task(*args, **kwargs):
    """Override Celery's default shared_task decorator to log every task call.
    """
    if len(args) == 1 and callable(args[0]):
        func = args[0]
        return orig_shared_task(**kwargs)(timeit(func))

    def decorator(func):
        return orig_shared_task(*args, **kwargs)(timeit(func))

    return decorator

Could you please give me an example about how can I use this script?

I am trying to log the last execution datetime.
My idea is read and write in a file, for example a python script.
I need this information for some tasks that I am using to retrieve data base on a date.
Thanks a lot.
