Sensu Go’s [official documentation](https://docs.sensu.io/sensu-go/latest/operations/deploy-sensu/configuration-management/) states:

> We recommend using configuration management tools to deploy Sensu in production and at scale.

As such, we manage our Sensu Go installation using Ansible. However, it seems like the official Sensu Go Ansible module is lagging behind and doesn’t support all of the features in its modules (e.g. the Check module doesn’t support the `output_metric_tags` feature).

Are there any plans to update the modules to introduce their missing features?

Hi ,

Thank you for reaching out and for managing your Sensu Go installation using Ansible — we really appreciate your continued engagement with the platform.

You’re absolutely right that the current Sensu Go Ansible module lacks support for some newer features like `output_metric_tags`. This is something that’s already under planning and will be addressed soon in one of our upcoming updates. Our goal is to bring the Ansible modules in line with the full capabilities of Sensu Go.

In the meantime, as a workaround, many users have found success using custom playbooks or direct API calls to fill these gaps. If you’re comfortable with that approach, it could help bridge the functionality until the module updates are released.

Regards,  
Nasirhussen

Hi,

Thank you so much for your response. I have indeed found a workaround to use in the meantime. In fact, I even submitted a PR to the official repo to add the functionality.

Looking forward to see more updates to this great tool in the future.
