SensuGenerator

SensuGenerator is a middleware providing dynamic monitoring with Consul and Sensu. It helps to set up dynamic monitoring systems. It generates check configurations from ERB templates according to tags listed in the KV and Consul service properties. It watches for changes Consul services state and special key in the KV. It triggers the following: Sensu check configuration files are generated from the templates, the result will be synced via rsync and Sensu servers will be restarted using http Supervisord API. All files are generated when application starts and only changes will be processed.

All service checks tag are stored in the Consul Key-Value storage in service/kv_tags_path path, default kv_tags_path is "checks". Tag is the beginning of a service check template name and should be specified as a part of the template name in the Consul KV storage. Note that value should be comma-separated tags list. Rsync repo shuold be named as sensu service name.

It can can be used master server with multiple clients which send processed templates via tcp.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sensu_generator'

Install it yourself as:

$ gem install sensu_generator

Usage

sensu_generator start|stop|status|run -- [options]

Example:

consul_url*/kv/nginx/checks*

check-http, check-tcp

Use svc (contains service data form consul) and check (contains tag name) in the ERB template. svc.kv_svc_props(key: key) can be used to access to svc/key data. If key is not specified it will be requested the whole svc/ folder.

Use Slack as notifier if you want.

Check ERB template example:
{
  "checks": {
    <% svc.properties.each do |instance| %>
    <% next if instance.ServiceTags.include? "udp" %>
     "check-ports-tcp-<%= "#{svc.name}-#{instance.ServiceAddress}-#{instance.ServicePort}" %>": {
       "command": "check-ports.rb -h <%= instance.ServiceAddress %> -p <%= instance.ServicePort %>",
       "subscribers": ["roundrobin:sensu-checker-node"],
       "handlers": ["slack"],
       "source": "<%= svc.name %>.service"
      }<%= "," if instance != svc.properties.last %>
    <% end %>
  }
}
