Extension is never being run

Alfredo_Palhares · October 6, 2014, 2:00pm

Hello,

I am having dificulties on running an extension[1]

The check:
``
{
  "checks": {
    "load_metrics": {
      "command": "/etc/sensu/plugins/system/load-metrics.rb",
      "interval": 3,
      "type": "metric",
      "subscribers": ["all"],
      "handlers": ["metrics"]
    }
  }
}
``

The handler
``
{
  "handlers": {
    "metrics": {
    "type": "set",
    "handlers": ["influxdb", "debug"]
    }
  }
}
``

The logs:

``

``

As you can see the extension is properly loaded and the check runs:
``
{"timestamp":"2014-10-06T13:57:57.940260+0000","level":"info","message":"publishing
check
request","payload":{"name":"load_metrics","issued":1412603877,"command":"/etc/sensu/plugins/system/load-metrics.rb"},"subs
cribers":["all"]}
``

But the data never gets there, writting a puts event_data on the start
of the run method shows that run function its never called.

Any help appreciatted!

Hi Alfredo,

I noticed that you call EventMachine run() in your extension, you cannot do this, as the event loop is already started and managed by Sensu itself. eg. https://github.com/seegno/sensu-influxdb-extension/blob/master/influxdb.rb#L50

You also do not want to stop the event loop on error, just log the error event. eg. https://github.com/seegno/sensu-influxdb-extension/blob/master/influxdb.rb#L59

As of Sensu 0.13, the extension API does not pass a block to stop(), so you cannot yield, and the method does not need to return anything. eg. https://github.com/seegno/sensu-influxdb-extension/blob/master/influxdb.rb#L65

Sean.

Also, you should be using MultiJson.load() and dump() instead of JSON. eg. https://github.com/seegno/sensu-influxdb-extension/blob/master/influxdb.rb#L71
