Sidekiq: Expose Pause/Unpause button on Queues in Web UI

Ruby version: 2.3.2
Sidekiq / Pro / Enterprise version(s): Pro / Enterprise

Love the pause queue feature in Sidekiq Pro. Would love a toggle button in the Web UI to pause/unpause.

Ah right. I forgot: pausing queues is explicitly meant to be API only. You use it as part of automation, not an ad-hoc manual process.

As someone who just ad-hoc stopped his queues, so he can ad-hoc update a search index before ad-hoc restarting the queue, this has not proven to be true.

Obviously this is a process we would like to automate going forward, but all automations start with a a little ad-hoc work initially, and it's a shame to have lost the pause button. I mean, we can still start up a rails console and execute #pause! on the queue, but certainly less convenient than it used to be.

@phantomwhale - I agree with you, and would love a pause button as part of the "pro" web UI.

We would also love Pause and Unpause buttons in the Sidekiq web UI. Or the capability to add one with a plugin.

Agree, this would be very nice to have!

1.5 years too late but I also agree. This is especially important as people are going serverless. For example, we're using ECS Fargate now and SSH-ing onto a fargate machine is quite complicated and often discouraged. We use this functionality during incidents and planned maintenances to avoid triggering all our monitors.

This was added in Sidekiq 6.0.4
