Hi Karthik,

With sensu-go, you no longer need to manage configuration under /etc/sensu/* other than the agent.yml and backend.yml (only on the backend servers). Configuration is done using sensuctl. You can find the configuration requirements for handlers here: https://docs.sensu.io/sensu-go/latest/reference/handlers/

I’d recommend going through our guides such as the email handler guide found here: https://docs.sensu.io/sensu-go/latest/guides/email-handler/ We also have a guild on sending metrics to a tsdb located here: https://docs.sensu.io/sensu-go/latest/guides/influx-db-metric-handler/ These will give you a walk through on setting handlers up with filters for different event types as well.

@karthik you’ll probably want to look at https://github.com/sensu-community/sensu-plugin-sdk as that’s our primary entry point to writing a handler or other type plugin. But it’s also worth noting that it really doesn’t matter what language you write a handler plugin in. You might look at some of the other handler plugins in https://bonsai.sensu.io for inspiration.
