Need to perform a check once a day at a specified time. Any way to do
this in sensu at the moment.
Ideally, something like the following would be good.
timeOfDay => 08:00,
interval => 60,
runs => 1,
Hey Matt,
For something like this, I’d use the ‘push’ model. You can create a script in any language you want (see simple bash example Sensu Push Example · GitHub) to push a JSON check representation to the local sensu-client’s port (3030). Then, you can trigger the script with cron, or Jenkins, or have your script sleep and loop. No other client or server configuration is needed (other than a connected client). Make sure you set the handlers and status fields appropriately.
Cheers

Thanks Nick.
I’ve tried what you suggested and I see the output in the client log, but nothing in the server log.
I sent:
echo ‘{ “handlers”: [“pagerduty”], “name”: “push_woot_test”, “output”: “woot!”, “status”: 1 }’ | nc -w1 127.0.0.1 3030
To see if the message carried through to PD, but nothing appeared in the server log or PD. Do I need to configure the server to expect the test “push_woot_test” ?
Thanks,
Matt

My bad, used “status”: 2 - works like a charm!
