Hi,

I have sensu server and client running for cloud. There are several checks running and gathering data from different VM. Now I want to send the data like vmstat or cpu usage to other java application. How can we do the same. Currently we are using TCP handle to send the data metrics to Graphite and display the same in graph.

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Subhadip

What’s the other java application, and what format does it accept data in? If a handler doesn’t yet exist for the java application, you could write one on your own: [http://sensuapp.org/docs/0.12/handlers](http://sensuapp.org/docs/0.12/handlers)

Hi Bethany,

I’m trying to send the sensu checks data metrics to elasticsearch which will accept data in JSON format. Is there any handler to support this.
