In Sensu, define a check:
{
"checks": {
"check-vpc": {
"handlers": [ "cachethq" ],
"command": "/etc/sensu/plugins/cachethq/aws.py --service vpc --region us-east-1",
"interval": 60,
"cachethq" : {
"component": {
"name": "VPC (N. Virginia)",
"id": "14"
}
},
"subscribers": [ "cachethq-ops" ]
}
}
}
The handler needs cachethq key/values as mentioned above to correlate checks with CachetHQ component.
The handler will create incident based on the words present in the check output.
status = {
'1' => ['investigation', 'are investigating', 'investigate'], # Investigating
'2' => ['identified', 'addressed the root cause'], # Identified
'3' => ['monitor', 'progress'], # Watching
'4' => ['resolved', 'operating normally', 'recover', 'restor', 'returned to normal'] # Fixed
}
Something like this, based on the incident output.
