This role deploys a full Sensu Core stack, a modern, open source monitoring framework.

End of Life

Please note that this role solely deploys Sensu Core which has reached end of life status.

For more details, please checkout https://blog.sensu.io/eol-schedule-for-sensu-core-and-enterprise and https://blog.sensu.io/announcing-the-sensu-archives

If you'd like to migrate to Sensu Go, there are docs availible at https://docs.sensu.io/sensu-core/latest/migration/ and a new officially Ansible Collection supported by XLab available here: https://github.com/sensu/sensu-go-ansible

Features

• Deploy a full Sensu stack, including RabbitMQ, redis, and the Uchiwa dashboard
• Full support for Sensu Enterprise
• Tight integration with the Ansible inventory - deployment of monitoring checks based on inventory grouping
• Fine grained control over dynamic client configurations
• Remote plugin deployment
• Automatic generation and dynamic deployment of SSL certs for secure communication between your clients and servers
• Highly configurable

Batteries included, but not imposed

Along with deploying the Sensu Server, API and clients, this role can deploy a full stack: RabbitMQ, redis, and the Uchiwa dashboard. However, if you want to rely on other roles/management methods to deploy/manage these services, it's nice and easy to integrate this role.
