Is there anything that sensu offers that elk will not for a production system?
Hey Michael,
Definitely, they are not even really in the same wheelhouse imo. ELK is a collection of tools to make analyzing, storing, identifying logging trends and searching logs. Sensu is a monitoring and metrics collection framework that you would probably use to alert staff to production issues or collect specific metrics.
They are pretty complimentary services handling different requirements.
You would likely be notified by sensu ( or even more likely pagerduty, slack, etc) of an issue then use elk to track or correlate the larger issue.
Thanks,
Josh
