Description
Description
plane.bgtasks.logger_task.process_logs is queued by plane-api on every API request (audit logging via APITokenLogMiddleware), but the Celery worker discards every message with a KeyError because the module is not listed in CELERY_IMPORTS.
Root cause
plane/bgtasks/logger_task.py exists and defines a @shared_task, but it was never added to CELERY_IMPORTS in plane/settings/common.py when the module was introduced in #8245.
The worker only loads modules listed in CELERY_IMPORTS, so process_logs is never registered.
Impact
- API activity logs are not saved (audit trail broken for
APIActivityLog/ MongoDB logging) ~1 error per API callin the worker logs (depending on traffic, tens to hundreds per hour)- All other Plane functionality works normally
Error in worker logs
Received unregistered task of type 'plane.bgtasks.logger_task.process_logs'.
The message has been ignored and discarded.
Did you remember to import the module containing this task?
Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".../celery/worker/consumer/consumer.py", line 659, in on_task_received
strategy = strategies[type_]
~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^
KeyError: 'plane.bgtasks.logger_task.process_logs'
Fix
Add "plane.bgtasks.logger_task" to CELERY_IMPORTS in plane/settings/common.py.
A one-line fix is ready in a PR.

Research direction
Start in plane/settings/common.py by inspecting CELERY_IMPORTS, then compare it with the task defined in plane/bgtasks/logger_task.py. Confirm that the worker registers plane.bgtasks.logger_task.process_logs and that API activity logs are no longer discarded; the issue does not name a specific test file.
