Sensu backend install throwing error on build

Sensu Go
1

I have an issue with trying to compile open source sensu-go backend from github repo GitHub - sensu/sensu-go: Simple. Scalable. Multi-cloud monitoring.

  1. What have you already tried? Please include links to gists and/or code blocks (if relatively small)

I have run the following commands based on the documentation to install sensu backend on Centos7 but the build fails to compile. I followed the steps as per sensu-go/README.md at v6.4.0 · sensu/sensu-go · GitHub with the exception of go version being higher due to issue mentioned in Documentation: incorrect Go version requirements · Issue #4400 · sensu/sensu-go · GitHub

  1. Tell us about your setup, this should include OS, version of Sensu, version of Sensu components plugin versions (if applicable), anything special about your setup such as an airgapped network or strict ACLs

Installing GO

$   echo "export PATH=\$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:/usr/local/bin" >> /root/.bashrc
$   source /root/.bashrc

Installing sensu-backend

$ cd sensu-go/

  1. Is there a Github issue related to your issue?

There is a similar documentation issue but the user mentions that the specific version of go worked which does not seem to work here. Documentation: incorrect Go version requirements · Issue #4400 · sensu/sensu-go · GitHub

  1. Is there anything else that can help us effectively help you?

I have tried multiple version of sensu-backend including 6.5.0 but none of them compile.

  1. use the Discourse upload button to attach Sensu relevant yaml or json configuration files.
