Follows dagucloud/dagu#2775: a DAG assigned to a queue defined in config.yaml now has its scheduled runs enqueued rather than started as the schedule fires, so the queue's max_concurrency bounds every run of the DAGs that share it.

  • server-admin/queues.md: new "Scheduled Runs and Queues" section
  • writing-workflows/queues.md: what waits for a slot, and what a local queue still does
  • writing-workflows/scheduling.md: enqueue dispatch is not catch-up only

Summary by cubic

Documents that scheduled runs for DAGs assigned to a queue are now enqueued rather than started directly, so the queue's max_concurrency applies to them. The queue can come from the DAG's own queue field or be inherited from base.yaml.

  • Adds a "Scheduled Runs and Queues" section to server-admin/queues.md covering both self-assigned and inherited queues, and clarifying that DAGs without a queue are started directly.
  • Updates writing-workflows/queues.md to list which run types wait for a queue slot and that local queues start runs directly.
  • Updates writing-workflows/scheduling.md to note that scheduled runs of a queued DAG also dispatch via enqueue.

Written for commit ee835f9. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Clarified that scheduled runs, catch-up runs, retries, and manually enqueued runs wait for available capacity in their assigned queue.
    • Documented that queue concurrency limits apply across all DAG runs sharing a queue.
    • Clarified that DAGs without an assigned queue are started directly by the scheduler rather than waiting in a local queue.
    • Updated catch-up scheduling guidance to reflect queue-based dispatch.

A DAG assigned to a queue defined in config.yaml now has its scheduled
runs enqueued rather than started as the schedule fires, so the queue's
max_concurrency bounds every run of the DAGs that share it.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The documentation now describes queue handling for scheduled runs, catch-up runs, retries, and manually enqueued runs. It also documents direct scheduler starts for DAGs without an assigned queue.

Changes

Queue Dispatch Documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Queue behavior and local dispatch
writing-workflows/queues.md, server-admin/queues.md
The documentation states that configured queues limit scheduled runs, catch-up runs, retries, and dagu enqueue runs. It also describes direct scheduler starts and per-DAG local queue behavior when no queue is assigned.
Scheduled and catch-up dispatch
writing-workflows/scheduling.md
The catch-up dispatch description now includes scheduled runs assigned to a configured queue.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to cfc48

Readers may misunderstand which queue handles a DAG or assume every catch-up run waits for capacity, but these are limited documentation issues with no runtime impact.

A DAG with no `queue` field uses a local queue, and the scheduler starts its
runs directly.

Account for the base-config queue default.

A missing DAG-level queue field does not always select the local queue. base.yaml can provide a default queue, as documented in writing-workflows/queues.md Lines 22-31. Qualify this statement with “and no base-config default exists” or describe the effective queue.

The scheduler places this DAG into the `batch` queue. The queue's `max_concurrency` (defined in `config.yaml`) determines how many DAGs in this queue can run at the same time.

Qualify the catch-up queue statement.

overlap_policy: skip can drop a catch-up run while the DAG is running or queued. latest can discard older missed intervals before queue admission. State that retained catch-up runs wait for a queue slot. This aligns with writing-workflows/scheduling.md Lines 380-386.
