I am a newbie to sensu, i would like to setup Sensu on RHEL, where as i amight need to do eveything locally, since my environment is not connected to Internet, how do i go about setting it up, the omnibus packages seems good, but how do i get the plugins deployed to a client and make them work. is there a place where i can refer to the documents on compile the code by downloading from the Git hub.  
Also does sensu has a event list view where i can see the list of the information received from the clients, like a native event list, showing the alert and the value received for a check

The plugins are available as gems:  
[https://rubygems.org/search?utf8=✓&query=sensu+plugins](https://rubygems.org/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&query=sensu+plugins)  
You could use whatever mechanism you need to install them. I  
personally like fpm to things into native packages.

I highly recommend a configuration management tool to assist you in  
getting all the configuration correct and help get packages deployed  
correctly and reproducibly.

The docs are here: [GitHub - sensu/sensu-docs: Sensu documentation](https://github.com/sensu/sensu-docs)  
Per the readme you can install view them locally:  
[GitHub - sensu/sensu-docs: Sensu documentation](https://github.com/sensu/sensu-docs#overview)

You can use the official dashboard (uchiwa) or the sensu-cli tool  
([https://github.com/agent462/sensu-cli\](https://github.com/agent462/sensu-cli%5C))  
Or even use the API directly if you are building a tool.

Note: You only see non-zero exit code events.
