resque-web as standalone to monitor workers with rails api only application

Here is the scenario I a trying. My rails application is a pure json API. I have resque for background jobs. Resque workers run on a separate machine which does not serve web. I manage this using a common redis server. I want to use resque-web gem to monitor my resque jobs. I dont want it to run on my web server, but only on jobs server.

The problem is that I cant run resque web as a part of rails api only app.

Is there a way to run resque-web standalone to monitor rails resque worker?

Are there any better alternatives to monitor jobs?

First off, you need a webserver to run resque-web.

Based on your description I assume you have a web server for Rails (API-only) and a worker server. You have two options: either run resque-web as a standalone webserver or as part of Rails.

These options are described in Resque's README's Standalone and Rails 3 chapters: https://github.com/resque/resque#the-front-end

Note that the latter requires a normal Rails app and not an api-only one, so you might have to adjust your setup.
