hi all

i’m trying to send all check results to flapjack on a centos 6.6 install (sensu 0.18.0 + flapjack 1.4.0)  
according to the flapjack enterprise handler docs, i put in /etc/sensu/conf.d, the file flapjack\_handler.json:  
$ cat /etc/sensu/conf.d/flapjack\_handler.json  
{  
“flapjack”: {  
“host”: “localhost”,  
“port”: 6379,  
“db”: 0,  
“channel”: “events”,  
“filter\_metrics”: false  
}  
}

``

i can see in /var/log/sensu/sensu-server.log that the handler is being loaded (correctly?)  
{“timestamp”:“2015-05-21T10:42:24.960581+1000”,“level”:“warn”,“message”:“loading config file”,“file”:"/etc/sensu/conf.d/flapjack\_handler.json"}  
{“timestamp”:“2015-05-21T10:42:24.960664+1000”,“level”:“warn”,“message”:“config file applied changes”,“file”:"/etc/sensu/conf.d/flapjack\_handler.json",“changes”:{“flapjack”:[null,{“host”:“localhost”,“port”:6379,“db”:0,“channel”:“events”,“filter\_metrics”:false}]}}

``

but on redis i don’t seem to see the handler pushing to the redis events channel  
(monitoring from redis-cli) i see:

``

for reference, when i use the method in which i specify the handler in the check (using the flapjack.rb extension from the community repo) i see from redis:  
``note the ‘lpush events …’ towards the end (which is not present when using the enterprise handler). I can see the events in flapjack using this method

- Is the configuration correct using the enterprise flapjack built-in handler? or am i missing something?  
( from the docs, it seems that i only need to put the flapjack\_handler.json in the correct directory and pointing to the correct redis to make the build-in enterprise flapjack handler work with sensu)
- i note that it says enterprise, is that a separate package? and i need to buy the enterprise package to get the functionality?

thanks in advance  
cheers
