Hey, guys! What does the "monitoring router" mean?

In the very beginning of the official doc, It says “Sensu is often described as the ‘monitoring router’.”. So, what does the “monitoring router” mean?

My way of looking at it is it takes some input from rabbitmq(inbound traffic) and evals is and then sends it on its way(handlers)
