We are using Ansible and working on full automation on new client setup and one of the steps is creating new checks, metrics and monitoring using Sensu.
I know I can add data into the client.json but Ansible isn’t amazing with adding in JSON data, so I would like to know if there is a way to pull cred information from an external source?
We are using Hashicorp’s Vault as a method to store database information, Ansible does a great job pulling that information from the API. But would like to know if there is a way to get Sensu to do the same?
Sensu is probably not the best layer to interact with vault at "check
definition" time.
Have you considered using consul-template to write down secrets in
plain old config files, that way any tool can use them? (sensu or
otherwise)
