About
Sensu is an observability pipeline platform that consolidates monitoring tools and fills gaps between metrics, logging, and tracing across multi-cloud and hybrid infrastructure. It codifies monitoring workflows as declarative configuration files (monitoring as code) that can be versioned, reviewed, and shared. Sensu automates server and container registration/deregistration and supports self-healing workflows, integrating with tools like Nagios, Prometheus, Telegraf, Slack, and Ansible Tower.
Problem
Traditional monitoring tools are cost-prohibitive at scale and incompatible with the ephemeral nature of cloud-native and dynamic infrastructure environments.
For
DevOps engineers, SRE teams, and platform engineers managing multi-cloud or hybrid infrastructure
How it works
Sensu deploys a backend and agents (via Docker or native packages) managed through a CLI tool called sensuctl, allowing teams to define checks, filters, and handlers as code that automate monitoring, diagnosis, and self-healing workflows.
