All the files you'll need to start your own plugin written in Ruby for Sensu, the monitoring framework.
- Copy the files in this repository if you want to write a Ruby plugin following best practices of layout and structure
- To write the actual functionality, you'll need to import Sensu Plugin gem
- If you'd prefer writing in Python, use the Python Plugin library
- Regardless of the chosen language, prepare the plugin to be released as a Ruby gem for optimal portability (example: MongoDB has Ruby and Python code)
To release your own plugin, complete the following:
- Double check that another plugin doesn't already do what you need by searching the Sensu Plugins organization
- Copy the files here into your own repository following the naming convention of
sensu-plugins-$FOO - Delete or move this file and rename
README-skel.mdtoREADME.md - Write your own checks, handlers or mutators using the plugin library of your choice
- Push them to your own GitHub repository
- Release them as a Ruby gem for optimal portability within the Sensu 1.x framework
- Ask for feedback from your peers by sharing it on in the #contributing channel on Sensu Community Slack
- When you're ready to share further, offer to share it with broader community by transferring it to Sensu Plugins organization
- If you end up loving maintaining your plugin, volunteer to be an org maintainer
