Sensu client monitoring plugins for BOSH

This BOSH release is a compliament/extension to https://github.com/FreightTrain/sensu-client-boshrelease to provide a set of useful sensu client plugins.

Usage

For any given BOSH deployment you want to monitor add the following sections:

To the releases: section add:

releases:
- {name: sensu-client, version: latest}
- {name: general-sensu-monitors, version: latest}

Add the following to each job's templates: section:

templates:
- {release: sensu-client, name: sensu-client}
- {release: general-sensu-monitors, name: general-sensu-plugins}

To use this bosh release, first upload it to your bosh:

bosh target BOSH_HOST
git clone https://github.com/cloudfoundry-community/general-sensu-monitors-boshrelease.git
cd general-sensu-monitors-boshrelease
bosh upload release releases/general-sensu-monitors-1.yml

For bosh-lite, you can quickly create a deployment manifest & deploy a cluster:

templates/make_manifest warden
bosh -n deploy

For AWS EC2, create a single VM:

templates/make_manifest aws-ec2
bosh -n deploy

Override security groups

For AWS & Openstack, the default deployment assumes there is a default security group. If you wish to use a different security group(s) then you can pass in additional configuration when running make_manifest above.

Create a file my-networking.yml:

---
networks:
  - name: general-sensu-monitors1
    type: dynamic
    cloud_properties:
      security_groups:
        - general-sensu-monitors

Where - general-sensu-monitors means you wish to use an existing security group called general-sensu-monitors.

You now suffix this file path to the make_manifest command:

templates/make_manifest openstack-nova my-networking.yml
bosh -n deploy
