Vamao Drupal Cron Queue Guard OS
Catch stale cron, stuck queues, Advanced Queue processing locks, and Search API indexing backlog before customers notice missing updates.
Vamao Drupal Cron Queue Guard OS is for Drupal teams that cannot afford to discover operational problems through customer complaints: stale product search, delayed scheduled content, missing notification emails, stuck imports, feed jobs that never finish, or async work that silently stopped after a deploy.
Drupal cron and queue failures often look harmless for hours. The site still loads. Editors can still log in. But the work that keeps the business fresh is delayed: Search API indexing, feeds, Commerce jobs, background notifications, and scheduled tasks. Cron Queue Guard OS turns those hidden delays into a repeatable preflight and hosted operations signal.
Why it matters
A stale queue is not just a developer chore. It can mean customers cannot find new products, sales teams wait for delayed notifications, editors think publishing worked when background processing did not finish, and support discovers the problem before engineering does.
What the module checks
- Cron freshness: last run age, overdue cron windows, and stale cron lock hints.
- Core queue backlog: configured queue names and backlog counts that should not grow unchecked.
- Advanced Queue: stale processing rows that can remain after worker crashes, memory exhaustion, or interrupted deploys.
- Search API: pending indexing backlog before catalog or content search becomes visibly stale.
- Ultimate Cron: locked job signals when Ultimate Cron is installed.
- CI and hosted telemetry: Drush JSON output locally, signed redacted sync for licensed agency dashboards.
How teams use it
- Install the licensed Drupal module in a Drupal 9, 10, or 11 project.
- Set cron, queue, stale processing, and Search API thresholds in Drupal admin.
- Run the Drush preflight locally, after deploys, or in CI.
- Sync redacted counts to VamaoLabs for agency multi-site monitoring.
- Review merchant-safe findings without exposing queue payload data.
Privacy by default
Hosted sync stores operational counts, queue names, module state, risk categories, and environment metadata. It does not upload raw queue payloads, customer records, or indexed document bodies by default.
