Assuming you use the sensu-puppet module ([GitHub - sensu/sensu-puppet: Sensu Puppet module.](https://github.com/sensu/sensu-puppet)).

Quoting and slightly modifying their example:

```auto
package { 'sensu-plugins-network-checks':
  ensure => 'installed',
  provider => sensu_gem,
}

```

I don’t know Katello. However, your question inspired me to write a longer blog post: [GhostLyrics' Journal – Example of a Sensu Puppet class](http://ghostlyrics.net/example-of-a-sensu-puppet-class.html)

I hope this will be helpful to you. I explain most of the things in detail and the examples are not theoretical, but taken from production. 🙂
