DESCRIPTION

Provides LWRP's and service recipes to install and configure
Sensu, a monitoring framework.

This cookbook provides the building blocks for creating a monitoring
cookbook specific to your environment (wrapper). Without such a
wrapper, no Sensu configuration files will be created for your nodes.

An example wrapper cookbook can be found
HERE.

How to Write Reusable Chef Cookbooks

TESTING

This cookbook comes with a Gemfile, Cheffile, and a Vagrantfile for
testing and evaluating Sensu.

cd examples
gem install bundler
bundle install
librarian-chef install
vagrant up
vagrant ssh

COOKBOOK DEPENDENCIES

• APT
• YUM
• Windows
• RabbitMQ
• RedisIO

REQUIREMENTS

SSL configuration

Running Sensu with SSL is recommended, this cookbook uses a data bag
sensu, with an item ssl, containing the SSL certificates required.
This cookbook comes with a tool to generate the certificates and data
bag item. If the integrity of the certificates is ever compromised,
you must regenerate and redeploy them.

cd examples/ssl
./ssl_certs.sh generate
knife data bag create sensu
knife data bag from file sensu ssl.json
./ssl_certs.sh clean

RECIPES

sensu::default

Installs Sensu and creates a base configuration file, intended to be
extended. This recipe must be included before any of the Sensu LWRP's
can be used. This recipe does not enable or start any services.

sensu::rabbitmq

Installs and configures RabbitMQ for Sensu, from configuring SSL to
creating a vhost and credentials. This recipe relies heavily on the
community RabbitMQ cookbook LWRP's.

sensu::redis

Installs and configures Redis for Sensu. This recipe uses the
RedisIO cookbook and installs Redis from source.

sensu::server_service

Enables and starts the Sensu server.

sensu::client_service

Enables and starts the Sensu client.

sensu::api_service

Enables and starts the Sensu API.

sensu::dashboard_service

Enables and starts the Sensu dashboard.
