We have a Redash instance in AWS that is spun up by using one of the pre-baked ami, that Redash provided us. Migration was okay but the scheduled queries doesn’t seem to execute. Was wondering how I can address that issue.
Since V8 is no longer supported I’d recommend following the upgrade instructions to V10.1. If the issue persists we can investigate and push out a fix.
Hi Jesse! We upgraded the Redash instance to V10 but the web page wasn’t loading. Do you know what may have caused that issue ?
You should look at the logs on your instance to see why the page doesn’t load.

Found the issue I think
I bumped into a user that had a similar issue and I managed to solve from his solution.
Still getting an issue with scheduled queries not executing
Please drop a link to the solution that worked for you (for future searchers).
Awesome, this is headway.
For debugging, here’s the flow for scheduled queries:
scheduler service in your Docker compose should run a subroutine where it checks which queries need to be executed based on their schedules. Those that need to be executed now are enqueued as new jobs on the scheduled queue in Redis.scheduled_worker service in your Docker compose should be monitoring the scheduled queue in Redis for new execution jobs. If a new job appears, one of the threads of scheduled_worker will pick up the job and execute it. If no threads are available to execute the job presently, it waits in queue until a thread picks it up or it’s purged automatically by Redis (defaults to 1000 seconds from the time the job was enqueued).scheduled_worker thread finishes executing the task, it stores the query result in the postgres metadata database. The database returns a query_result_id to the worker thread. The worker thread then updates the job status code in Redis to indicate the query result is ready and includes its query_result_id. The worker thread also updates the latest_query_data_id on the query object.Debugging scheduled executions is a pretty straightforward process of going through each of these steps to figure out which one isn’t happening.
Note: for ease of use it’s best to have a very simple debugging query (like SELECT 1) that you set up with a 1 minute refresh schedule. If you can, also disable the execution schedules for all other queries.
Make sure you actually added a schedule to the query (I know it’s obvious, but hey, we all make mistakes)
Confirm that your scheduler service is running with docker-compose ps. Once per minute you should see it enqueuing a new job for your debug query. It will emit a log message visible with docker-compose logs -f --tail 100 scheduler whenever it enqueues a new job.
Then check Redis to see that the new job actually exists in the scheduled queue.
Confirm that your scheduled_worker is running with docker-compose ps and that it’s monitoring the scheduled queue in Redis (this is controlled by the environment portion of your compose file).
When a thread of scheduled_worker picks up a job from the scheduled queue, it will emit a log that you can see with docker-compose logs -f --tail 100 scheduled_worker.
Check redis to see that the job status code is changed from 1 (in queue) to 2 (executing).
95% of the time the problem is evident at this point. I won’t go into debugging step 4 right now as it’s unlikely this is a problem.
Give this a try and let us know which step isn’t happening.
Here is the solution link that worked for to solve this issue that I was encountering: Solution
How do I check Redis to see of there’s a new job there, like what are the commands to address that ?
Not sure if celery id suppose to be there ? Isn’t it RQ now ?
After doing some other research I noticed that we don’t need that celery queue. How can I replace it with RQ ?
My mistake: I put the CLI commands in the wrong order. I’ve updated the post above. The -f --tail 100 must go directly after the logs command. The name of the service comes last.
Did you follow the upgrade instructions on the releases page? It should cover the changes to make to your docker-compose.yml file.
Yes. I got rid of celery and removed:
# environment:
# QUEUES: "scheduled_queries,schemas"
# WORKERS_COUNT: 2
That seemed to have decreased the amount of queues that was in the queued jobs in Redash. My question is do I have to add in the RQ scheduler ? I know there was a user that showed his docker file and under scheduler he only had:
<<: *redash-service
command: scheduler
That’s right. With the move to RQ we didn’t need the QUEUES or WORKERS_COUNT environment variables. This service just runs the scheduler command in a loop

Is this necessary to in my dockerfile ?
Aye, it’s in the instructions because without it the general jobs, such as cleaning up old query results, will never run.
Also 
You commented out the QUEUES and WORKER COUNT for the scheduled worker. This means your scheduled queries may not execute as expected.
I’d strongly recommend using the default docker-compose.yml file unless you have a strong reason to alter it.
