celery flower does not show previously run tasks after restart

Question

I am using celery with django and using flower to inspect tasks. I am using rabbitmq as broker. It all works fine but after I restart flower, the previously listed states of task is lost and I see 0 entries in flower.

I am running flower with persistent mode too.

python -m celery -A curatepro -l debug flower --persistent --db=/var/lib/flower/flowerdb

There is a similar question asked on this SO post:

Celery Flower - how can i load previous catched tasks?

and as it suggests using --persistent flag and I am using the same but still it doesn't seem to work.

Answer 1

You have to set the variable as --persistent=True for this to work.
