README

        
[Sensu](http://sensuapp.com) is a relatively new monitoring system based around a messaging

architecture. It's a simple idea, a small code base and provides

lots of ways of extensing the core featureset. What's not to like?

This repo contains a Sensu demo environment. Using

[Vagrant](http://vagrantup.com) and the

[sensu-puppet](https://github.com/sensu/sensu-puppet) module it brings up two nodes, one of which runs the

sensu server and dashboard, and the other a sensu client. On it's own

it's not very exciting, but it's a great way to have something running

in minutes with which to experiment. Improvements welcome.

You'll find lots of sample checks, metrics and handlers in the

[sensu-community-plugins](https://github.com/sensu/sensu-community-plugins) repo.

## Usage

First install vagrant, Bundler (Ruby dependeny management) and the

[librarian-puppet](https://github.com/rodjek/librarian-puppet) gem:

    gem install bundler

    bundle install

Librarian-puppet allows for managing puppet modules from the

[Forge](http://forge.puppetlabs.com) or from Git repositories. To

install the required third-party puppet modules run:

    bundle exec librarian-puppet

Finally to bring up the two node sensu cluster run:

    vagrant up

The first time you run this it will take a while as it downloads a large

Vagrant basebox image. See the Vagrant documentation for more

information about managing the Vagrant created virtual machines.

All being well, everything should run cleaning and if you visit localhost:8080 you

should see the sensu dashboard. The username for the basic

authentication is admin and the password secret.

## A quick example

The check setup by the puppet manifest checks for the existence of a

file at /tmp/missingfile every 60 seconds. To start with these files

will be missing, so you should see a warning in the web interface. If

you jump on the virtual machine and create the file the warning should

eventually disappear.

    vagrant ssh server

    touch /tmp/missingfile

## Thanks

This repository mainly packages other peoples work:

* Thanks to @portertech and others for Sensu

* Thanks to @jamtur01, @jlambert121 and Jeremy Caroll for the excellent sensu-puppet module
