QueueRay – Background Job Diagnostics
QueueRay is a read-only diagnostic dashboard for WordPress sites that use Action Scheduler, including many WooCommerce stores.
Instead of showing only raw failed and past-due totals, QueueRay groups active problems by hook and adds a conservative diagnosis:
- what kind of background workflow the hook appears to represent;
- which plugin likely owns it;
- whether ownership came from a registered callback or a naming heuristic;
- what may be affected if the problem continues;
- what to inspect before retrying, canceling, or deleting queue data.
QueueRay does not delete, retry, cancel, or edit scheduled actions.
Current features:
- Action Scheduler queue totals and past-due counts
- Failed actions in the last 24 hours and 7 days
- Diagnosis cards for active failures and overdue hooks
- Conservative impact categories for payments, subscriptions, marketing sync, analytics, email, shipping, integrations, and unknown jobs
- Historical failed rows are not promoted into active diagnoses unless the same hook failed in the last 24 hours
- Likely-owner detection from registered callback source files when available
- Naming heuristics as a fallback, with explicit confidence
- WP-Cron and Action Scheduler queue-runner signals
- Estimated standard Action Scheduler table size
- Privacy-conscious support report that excludes action arguments and Action Scheduler group names
- Reserved QueueRay QA fixtures are excluded from health severity, diagnosis cards, operational totals, and hook rankings
Why read-only?
Deleting a failed or overdue background job without understanding what owns it can hide a symptom or interfere with plugin workflows. QueueRay diagnoses first and leaves queue changes to the site owner or developer.
What does “possible impact” mean?
QueueRay intentionally uses cautious language. A hook name can suggest that a job relates to payments, subscriptions, analytics, marketing sync, or another workflow, but it cannot prove that a customer-facing feature is broken. Always inspect the affected Scheduled Action log before making changes.
Privacy
QueueRay 0.5.3 does not transmit data externally. The copyable support report excludes Action Scheduler action arguments and group names because either can contain plugin-specific identifiers.
