Yes, it is possible. You can use the remediation handler and create a remediation check for restarting the nginx server. You can find the process for creating remediation checks from [https://github.com/sensu/sensu-remediation-handler](https://github.com/sensu/sensu-remediation-handler)

Did you try to use [Check Hooks](https://docs.sensu.io/sensu-go/latest/reference/checks/#check-hooks)?

We are using them in order to restart some service.  
Since the sensu user doesn’t have the access right to restart services with systemctl, we had to use some sudo rules, but so far it’s working OK

@Sathish the remediation check should be _unpublished_. By publishing it, you’re guaranteeing that it will run if you want it to or not. It must be unpublished so that when the remediation handler makes its API call, the check is only run once.

Yes, that’s correct @aaronsachs. Now it’s working fine.
