Using Ruby based assets that require the Ruby runtime asset

Introduction
To simplify the burden of providing a working Ruby environment in each Sensu plugin, Sensu is making available re-usable Ruby runtime assets, and corresponding docker images that can help make it easier to use the existing collection of Ruby assets.

This will be a quick guide to walk you through using Ruby assets that require the Ruby runtime asset to work correctly. If you want to know how you can build assets that make use of the Ruby runtime, please read the companion quickstart guide to contributing Ruby Sensu Plugin assets

Sensu Check Example
Here is an example of check-cpu.rb from the sensu-plugins-cpu-checks asset together with the Ruby runtime asset built for the Sensu Agent Docker image based on Alpine Linux.

----
type: CheckConfig
api_version: core/v2
metadata:
  name: cpu-percentage
  namespace: default
spec:
  check_hooks: null
  command: check-cpu.rb -w 70 -c 90
  env_vars: null
  handlers: []
  high_flap_threshold: 0
  interval: 60
  low_flap_threshold: 0
  output_metric_format: ""
  output_metric_handlers: []
  proxy_entity_name: ""
  publish: true
  round_robin: false
  runtime_assets:
  - sensu-plugins-cpu-checks
  - sensu-ruby-runtime
  stdin: false
  subdue: null

Here’s the corresponding asset configurations referenced in the check:
