Hello,

I’m new on sensu so i tried to install a sensu go cluster on aws…
I already have my backend and my agent install on it, also i have install sensuctl.

But i have an issue when i try to install the email-handler plugin i have an issue :
sh-4.2$ sudo sensu-install -p email-handler

hi @eyangui,

The sensu-install command is a wrapper around Ruby’s gem command, so it is pulling down Sensu community plugins that are written in Ruby. It is indeed impossible to pull down the email handler, as that’s a Golang plugin that’s best used as an asset. I’d recommend taking a look over https://docs.sensu.io/sensu-go/5.15/getting-started/tutorial/ to see how plugins work now, especially in the context of assets. Assets can be installed via sensuctl asset add $GITHUBUSER/$PLUGINNAME:$VERSION.
