Connecting Sensu to cluster of RabbitMQ and/or Redis servers

Hi there,

Is it possible to configure Sensu to connect to multiple RabbitMQ servers? What about Redis servers? Would I need to specify a single host that will load balance across servers running each of these components, or will Sensu round-robin for me?

Said another way, can I configure Sensu like so:

{
  "rabbitmq": {
    "ssl": {
      "cert_chain_file": "/etc/sensu/ssl/cert.pem",
      "private_key_file": "/etc/sensu/ssl/key.pem"
    },
    "host": ["rabbitmq-host-1", "rabbitmq-host-2"],
    "port": 5671,
    "vhost": "/sensu",
    "user": "sensu",
    "password": "SUBSTITUTE_ME"
  }
}

``

You need to specify a single host.

If you are going to use multiple rabbitmq servers and multiple redis
servers, you must understand how they cluster and then load balance
them.

}

Thanks, this answers my question. Scaling/HA Sensu isn’t built-in.

}

host": ["rabbitmq-host-1", "rabbitmq-host-2"],

Hi
I want to do the same, so instead of using ``There you could configure the HA IP right?

Thanks

At the original time that this email was composed, sensu didn’t have client-side configuration suitable for this. Now it does:
