Hi Team,  
I installed Sensu go 5.19 according to the steps provided in the document(only the steps given the docuemnt i have followed, i didn’t configured and rabbitmq or redis server as its not specified and its sensu go ). i’m trying to create a HANDLE for which i need to make some changes in the **conf.d** file and and need to place a script under the **plugin** folder. but i’m not able to see those folders . i’m able to see to only 2 folders **agent.yml and backend.yml**.  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/sensu/original/1X/435ee6b786ddf3739812054a4e63a7a3a38f724c.png)

Note: I’m able to create checks and i’m able to see the alerts in the sensu UI

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/](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/](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/](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](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](https://bonsai.sensu.io) for inspiration.
