Hi,
I’d like to have keepalive alerts for all clients sent through a handler (the PagerDuty one in my case). I’m using Sensu 0.23.3
The documentation says:
By default, keepalive events will be sent to the Sensu handler named keepalive if defined, or thedefault handler will be used.
So I defined a handler named “keepalive” in my /etc/sensu/config.json and restarted the API and Server processes. It looked like this:
"keepalive": {
"type": "pipe",
"command": "/etc/sensu/handlers/pagerduty.rb"
}
and I also tried
"pagerduty_nofilter": {
"type": "pipe",
"command": "/etc/sensu/handlers/pagerduty.rb"
},
"keepalive": {
"type": "set",
"handlers": ["freq", "hipchat", "pagerduty_nofilter"]
},
Neither of those worked. I disabled the Sensu client on one of my hosts and after a while it showed up in Uchiwa with “No keepalive sent”, as expected, but nothing came through PagerDuty, which does work for other handlers. Is there a way of getting this to work for all the clients? I think there’s a way to do this on a per-client basis, but that would be more tedious to roll out to all the clients, so I have not tried it.
Thanks,
Chuck
This is documented here:
https://sensuapp.org/docs/0.23/reference/clients.html#keepalive-attributes
The handler definition is fine, but yes you need to tell the clients
to use is in their client definition, or make it the "default"
handler.
