I Just resolved boolean true value issues, but still am unable to start sensu-server after having below handler in sensu server. can you please explain me if I need to have any handler in plugins to support amqp?

{

“handlers”: {

```
"graphite": {

   "type": "amqp",

  "exchange": {

    "type": "topic",

    "name": "metrics",

    "durable": "true"

  },

  "mutator": "only_check_output"

}

```

}

Below are the errors we are receiving:

Again, please use a pastebin to share configuration data like this:

> Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.

It is impossible to be sure about what your configuration is with

Again, please email the entire group and not me personally. It allow  
others to help if they know.  
I will no longer reply-back to your personal emails.

The error that sensu has:  
{"timestamp":"2015-06-04T10:53:51.272595+0000","level":"fatal","message":"unknown  
handler type","object":{"type":"amqp","exchange":{"type":"topic","name":"metrics","durable":"true"},"mutator":"only\_check\_output","name":"graphite"}}

Comes from the mutator section of the handler config:

> **[{ "handlers": { "graphite": { "type": "amqp", "exchange": -...](https://pastebin.com/7WAEALy3)**
>
> Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.

Here are the docs on how to define mutators:  
[https://sensuapp.org/docs/latest/mutators](https://sensuapp.org/docs/latest/mutators)

It has to be in its own block, it cannot be in the "Handlers" section,  
and cannot be in the graphite section.

I also recommend using configuration management (chef/puppet) as they  
will prevent you from creating malformed json.

It shows same error as below, am really confused how to set handler config properly now, I just used doc [http://www.joemiller.me/2012/02/02/sensu-and-graphite/](http://www.joemiller.me/2012/02/02/sensu-and-graphite/) to configure amqp handler.

Can you please help me from where I can download mutated.rb plugin?

{“timestamp”:“2015-06-05T14:55:40.452387+0000”,“level”:“fatal”,“message”:“SENSU NOT RUNNING!”}

Any update please?

Do sensu opensource supports sending data to graphite through AMQP? I am just waiting to have handler and mutator which supports handler to post data through AMQP.

Can someone please share if you have those details?

Thanks,
