Cookbook Dependencies

Usage

This is a library style cookbook that provides a set of resources to install and configure the Sensu 5.x environment in a composable way. It is intended to be used in your own wrapper cookbook suited to your specific needs. You can see a very simple example usage in the default recipe of the sensu_test cookbook that is included in this repo. This recipe is used as part of integration testing.

  • add depends 'sensu-go' to the metadata.rb for your cookbook.
  • use the provided resources in your cookbook
sensu_backend 'default' do
  action [:install, :init]
end

sensu_agent 'default'

sensu_ctl 'default' do
  action [:install, :configure]
end

sensu_check 'cron' do
  command '/bin/true'
  cron '@hourly'
  subscriptions %w(dad_jokes production)
  handlers %w(pagerduty email)
  annotations(runbook: 'https://www.xkcd.com/378/')
  publish false

                       { begin: '11:00 PM', end: '1:00 AM' }] })
  action :create
end

# data bag contains url, checksum for asssets
assets = data_bag_item('sensu', 'assets')
assets.each do |name, property|
  next if name == 'id'
  sensu_asset name do
    url property['url']
    sha512 property['checksum']
  end
end

  command 'example_mutator.rb'
  timeout 60
end

Testing

For more details look at the [TESTING.md](./TESTING.md).

Resource Overview

These resources primarily work by writing the Sensu 5.x object definitions to a local path and then using the sensuctl command line to reconfigure the definitions known to the sensu backend.

  • sensu_backend install and configure the sensu backend
  • sensu_agent install and configure the sensu agent
  • sensu_ctl install and configure the sensuctl
  • sensu_check configure sensu checks
  • sensu_handler configure check handlers
  • sensu_filter configure sensu filters
  • sensu_mutator configure sensu mutators
  • sensu_asset configure sensu assetsfor use with checks
  • sensu_hook configure sensu hooksfor use with checks

Resource Details

  • namespace the Sensu RBAC namespace that this check belongs to, default: default
  • labels custom extended attributes to add to the check
  • annotations custom extended attributes to add to the check

name metadata will be set automatically from the resource name

sensu_backend

The sensu backend resource can configure the core sensu backend service.

  action :create
end


# Since this is a ruby based script, the check below defines two runtime_assets.
# One is the ruby-runtime asset, the other is the actual disk usage asset
sensu_check 'disk' do

  interval 60
  subscriptions %w(linux)
  handlers %w(pagerduty splunk)
  publish true
  ttl 100
  runtime_assets ['sensu-ruby-runtime', 'sensu-plugins-disk-checks']

end

sensu_handler

Properties

  • command the command to run only allowd if type is pipe
  • env_vars an array of environment variables to use with command execution only allowed if type is pipe
  • filters an array of Sensu event filter names to use
  • handlers an array of Sensu event handler names to use for events
  • mutator mutator to use to mutate event data for the handler
  • runtime_assets An array of Sensu assets required at runtime for the execution of the command
  • socket the socket definition scope, used to configure the TCP/UDP handler socket
  • timeout the handler execution duration timeout in seconds, only used with pipe and tcp types
  • type required handler type, one of pipe, tcp, udp or set

Examples

          port: 4444
         })
  timeout 30
end

sensu_hook

Used to define hooks for sensu checks

Properties

  • command required command to be executed
  • timeout duration timeout in seconds (hard stop)
  • stdin If the Sensu agent writes JSON serialized Sensu entity and check data to the command process’ STDIN. The command must expect the JSON data via STDIN, read it, and close STDIN. This attribute cannot be used with existing Sensu check plugins, nor Nagios plugins etc, as Sensu agent will wait indefinitely for the hook process to read and close STDIN

Examples

sensu_hook 'restart_nginx' do
  command 'sudo systemctl start nginx'
  timeout 60,
  stdin false
end
sensu_hook 'process_tree' do
  command 'ps aux'
  timeout 60,
  stdin false
end

sensu_filter

Used to define filters for sensu checks

Properties

  • filter_action required action to take with the event if the filter statements match. One of: allow, deny
  • expressions required filter expressions to be compared with event data.
  • when the when definition scope, used to determine when a filter is applied with time windows

Examples

sensu_filter 'production_filter' do
  filter_action 'allow'
  expressions [
    "event.Entity.Environment == 'production'",
  ]
end
sensu_filter 'state_change_only' do
  filter_action 'allow'
  expressions [
    "event.Check.Occurrences == 1"
  ]
end

sensu_mutator

A handler can specify a mutator to transform event data. This resource can define named resources to be used by handlers.

Properties

  • command required the command to run
  • env_vars an array of environment variables to use with command execution
  • timeout the execution duration timeout in seconds #### Examples The following defines a filter that uses a Sensu plugin called example_mutator.rb to modify event data prior to handling the event.
sensu_mutator 'example-mutator' do
  command 'example_mutator.rb'
  timeout 60
end

sensu_asset

At runtime the agent can sequentially fetch assets and store them in its local cache but these must first be defined by name for the sensu backend.

Properties

  • filters a set of filter criteria used by the agent to determine of the asset should be installed.
  • sha512 required the checksum of the asset.
  • url required the URL location of the asset.

Examples

sensu_asset 'asset_example' do
  url 'http://example.com/asset/example.tar'
  sha512 '4f926bf4328fbad2b9cac873d117f771914f4b837c9c85584c38ccf55a3ef3c2e8d154812246e5dda4a87450576b2c58ad9ab40c9e2edc31b288d066b195b21b'
  filters [
    "System.OS==linux"
  ]
end

sensu_namespace

A Namespace partitions resources within Sensu, this replaces organizations/environments. The resource name is the namespace name.

Examples

sensu_namespace 'example_namespace' do
  action :create
end

sensu_entity

An entity is a representation of anything that needs to be monitored. It can be either an agent or a proxy.

Properties

  • subscriptions An array of subscriptions. If no subscriptions are provided, it defaults to an entity-specific subscription list: [entity:{ID}].
  • entity_class required the entity type, must be either agent or proxy.

Examples

sensu_entity 'example-entity' do
  subscriptions ['example-entity']
  entity_class 'proxy'
end

sensu_role

The combination of Roles and RoleBindings grant users and groups permissions to resources within a namespace. Roles describe which resources and verbs a subject has access to.

Properties

sensu_role_binding

The combination of Roles and RoleBindings grant users and groups permissions to resources within a namespace. RoleBindings describe the association of a role with one or more subjects.

Properties

  • role_name required the name of the role
  • role_type required the role type, either Role or ClusterRole
  • subjects required an array of hashes, each describing the name and type of a subject which is granted the permissions described by the named role.

See Role binding and Cluster Role binding specification for additional details.

sensu_cluster_role

The combination of ClusterRoles and ClusterRoleBindings grant users and groups permissions to resources across all namespaces. ClusterRoles describe which resources and verbs a subject has access to.

Properties

sensu_cluster_role_binding

The combination of ClusterRoles and ClusterRoleBindings grant users and groups permissions to resources within a namespace. ClusterRoleBindings describe the association of a role with one or more subjects.

Properties

  • role_name required the name of the role
  • role_type required the role type, either Role or ClusterRole
  • subjects required an array of hashes, each describing the name and type of a subject which is granted the permissions described by the named role.

sensu_postgres_config

Configure Sensu to store events in a PostgreSQL database.

Properties

  • dsn required A string specifying the data source names as a URL or PostgreSQL connection string.
  • pool_size An integer value for the maximum number of PostgreSQL connections to maintain.

See PostgreSQL docs for more information about connection strings.

Examples

sensu_postgres_config 'default' do
    dsn "postgresql://sensu:pgtesting123@127.0.0.1:5432/sensu_events?sslmode=disable"
    pool_size 10
