I followed the instructions exactly to set up sensu on a RHEL 6 machine and installed from the yum repo. I believe this should have given me the omnibus package which takes care of all the dependencies.
I then tried setting up the check-procs.rb check per the example, but get the following in sensu-dashboard
/usr/bin/env: ruby: No such file or directory
Is it looking for dependency it can’t find?
In replying to my own question, it looks like setting EMBEDDED_RUBY=true in /etc/default/sensu fixed the problem.
Wouldn’t it make more sense for this to be set to true by default since you would want it to use the version of ruby in the omnibus package?
This question comes up ad nauseam. And it’s for that reason only that I would support making it the default.
Historically, the reason it is not the default is because installing random gems into /opt/sensu puts you at risk of breaking Sensu itself.

Maybe a compromise would be to stick this in the docs? I was initially confused since I followed the instructions but it didn’t work. I had to jump on irc to find out about this since my google-fu didn’t actually locate that.
It’s an easy enough setting to change.

If you dont want to expose the embedded ruby u can use #!/opt/sensu/embedded/bin/ruby
in shebang.
