my set up is a sensu client running on an Ubuntu 14.04 and the sensu server running on centos6.5 both installed/configured with the sensu puppet module.
my checks are all defined as “standalone:false” and the default of false for “safemode” is left.
my client can find the server and visa versa and tries to run the appropriate checks for its subscription etc. however it can’t seem to find the actual plugins.
The output I get is “output: sh: 1: /etc/sensu/plugins/check_procs_pgrep: not found”
If I add a file on the client named /etc/sensu/plugins/check_procs_pgrep it executes that check no problem butt I was under the impression that checks could exist on the server only. Am I wrong?
I feel like there is just some small parameter I’m missing or something.

That makes sense and thats what I initially assumed was the case but as I started looking at sensu in more depth I read the FAQ which contains the following:
···
Do checks need to exist on the client?
No. They only need to be defined on the Sensu server(s), but can be
defined on the client to override certain check definition attributes.
Another case where a check needs to be present on the client is when
it is being defined as a standalone check. In safe mode the check
has to exist on both the client and the server.
Am I wrong in taking this to mean that the checks (like the actual check_http file) only need to exist on the server? I guess its just talking about the check definitions?

The json config for the check has to be in both locations. The server needs it to generate check requests.
The plugin code itself only has to be on the client, where it’s run.

Yes you were incorrect (but not your fault, imho). Yes it is talking
about check definitions.
