set threshold values for metric output

Hi All,

I had set up sensu,graphite,sensu client-All works fine.

Now i want to send alerts from sensu.And the checks i am using from sensu-plugins repo.

One of check command is :/usr/bin/env /etc/sensu/plugins/metrics-memory-percent.rb --scheme stats.:::name:::.memory(https://github.com/sensu-plugins/sensu-plugins-memory-checks/tree/master/bin)

sensu-client2.memory_percent.free 6.234994848082251 1455194786

sensu-client2.memory_percent.buffers 5.197360829290261 1455194786

sensu-client2.memory_percent.cached 47.49373753506521 1455194786 sensu-client2.memory_percent.dirty 0.002144504910405648 1455194786 sensu-client2.memory_percent.swapUsed 0.37960228391415635 1455194786 sensu-client2.memory_percent.usedWOBuffersCaches 41.07390678756228 1455194786 sensu-client2.memory_percent.freeWOBuffersCaches 58.92609321243772 1455194786

As the output is in metric format , I am bit dilemma how can this be set with threshold so, i can set alert.

Please help me out.

Thanks in advance

HI All,

I came to know , we have https://github.com/sensu-plugins/sensu-plugins-graphite/blob/master/bin/check-graphite.rb can be used to send alerts from graphite by using graphite’s data.

But I am not sure where and how to create this check/alert .

Request anyone to suggest.

Have you thought about using the check for the alerting? check-memory.rb which calls check-memory.sh will allow you to set the threshold required for warning and critcal:

check-memory.sh [ -w value -c value -p -h ]

    -w --> Warning MB < value
    -c --> Critical MB < value
    -p --> print out performance data
    -h --> print this help screen

and will then alert accordingly using your defined handlers

Yes , i thought using check for alert along with handlers.
Here i am sending metric data to graphite from sensu((https://github.com/sensu-plugins/sensu-plugins-memory-checks/tree/master/bin) and not check-memory.rb.

So .for sending alerts i need either use a separate check, such as https://github.com/sensu-plugins/sensu-plugins-memory-checks/blob/master/bin/check-memory.sh or would need to alert from the graphite data using something like "check-graphite"https://github.com/sensu-plugins/sensu-plugins-graphite/blob/master/bin/check-graphite.rb

Using check-memory.rb will be duplicate and hence i need to go with check-graphite.rb.

Request you to suggest the steps.

Thanks in advance

Why is it an issue duplicating the check? You either have a second check querying graphite metrics or you have a check querying the memory. The model of sensu separates out metric collection and checks, with different handlers for both.

Thanks Joel.

Sorry for the late reply.

I am following “create metric analysis check from” https://sensuapp.org/docs/0.20/getting-started-with-checks/ and so bit confused whether to install graphite-api or not for querying the metrics.If yes,then please help me for installing/configuring graphite-api ,as i searched but could not find relevant documents.

Please enlighten .

graphite-api is used if you want to run graphite without the web interface. If you already have graphite installed, you already have the functionality of graphite-api.

For me, the installation is just a matter of doing

apt-get install graphite-api

``

and then pointing to the relevant directories.

I guess i need to use pip install graphite-api as yum is not working (saying no package).

Also please confirm the port for graphite-api.
