`sensu-run` runs a command and send its result to Sensu server using the [client socket input](https://sensuapp.org/docs/latest/reference/clients.html#client-socket-input) or via the Sensu API. It is useful to monitor cron jobs for example.

## Installation

NOTE: Currently sensu-run doesn't work on Windows. See [#16](https://github.com/maoe/sensu-run/issues/16).

Binary releases are available at [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/maoe/sensu-run/releases). Currently supported platforms for the binary releases are:

* Ubuntu (64bit)
* macOS
* Windows (x64, x86)

You can also build it yourself using [stack](https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/README/):
```sh
stack install sensu-run
```
will install the `sensu-run` command in `~/.local/bin`.

## Usage

```console
% sensu-run --help
Usage: sensu-run ([-n|--name NAME] [--source SOURCE] [--ttl SECONDS]
[--timeout SECONDS] [--handler HANDLER] ([--port PORT] |
[--server URL]) [--redirect] [--no-lock] [--dry|--dry-run]
[-s|--shell] [COMMAND] | [-v|--version])

Available options:
-h,--help Show this help text
-n,--name NAME The name of the check
--source SOURCE The check source, used to create a JIT Sensu client
for an external resource
--ttl SECONDS The time to live in seconds until check results are
considered stale
--timeout SECONDS The check executaion duration timeout in seconds
--handler HANDLER Sensu event handler(s) to use for events created by
the check
--port PORT Send results to the local sensu-client listening on
the specified port (default: 3030)
--server URL Send results to the specified Sensu server
--redirect Redirect command output to sensu-run's output
--no-lock Do not create a lock file to allow multiple instances
to run
--dry,--dry-run Dump the JSON object which is supposed to be sent
-s,--shell Execute the command using the shell
```

`--dry-run` option is useful to check the JSON output:

```console
% sensu-run --name check-home-src-size --handler foo --dry-run -- du -s $HOME/src | jq .
{
"name": "check-home-src-size",
"command": "du -s /home/maoe/src",
"issued": 1501041549,
"executed": 1501041549,
"duration": 1.674895,
"status": 0,
"output": "55513524\t/home/maoe/src\n",
"handlers": [
"foo"
],
"user": "maoe"
}
```

Use the `--shell` option if you want to use shell functions:
```console
% sensu-run --name check-home-src-size --handler foo --dry-run --shell -- "cd $HOME/src; du -s ." | jq .
{
"name": "check-home-src-size",
"command": "cd /home/maoe/src; du -s .",
"issued": 1501041568,
"executed": 1501041568,
"duration": 1.224157,
"status": 0,
"output": "55513524\t.\n",
"handlers": [
"foo"
],
"user": "maoe"
}
```

Without the `--dry-run` option, `sensu-run` sends the output to localhost:PORT, which is expected to be listened by `sensu-client`.

`sensu-run` sets the status field depending on the command exit code and timeout:

| command exit code | `status` field |
|-------------------|----------------|
| 0 | 0 (OK) |
| non-zero | 2 (CRITICAL) |
| command timed out | 3 (UNKNOWN) |

### Sensu API

`sensu-run` supports posting check results via Sensu API as well. Use `--server` option to specify Sensu server addresses. If multiple servers are specified, `sensu-run` tries them one by one until it succeeds.

```sh
sensu-run --name check-true --handler foo --server sensu1.example.com --server sensu2.example.com --dry-run -- du -s $HOME/src
```

## Handling signals on UNIX systems

`sensu-run` traps the following signals and resends them to the monitored process:

* SIGHUP
* SIGINT
* SIGQUIT
* SIGTERM
