chef-handler-sensu

This cookbook installs a pair of Chef handlers for silencing and unsilencing Sensu checks against a specified client via the Sensu API.

Requirements

Depends on the chef_handler cookbook

Usage

Include this cookbook's default recipe in another recipe or role near the beginning of the node's run list so that the start handler can take effect early on.

Attributes

chef_client.sensu_api_url - the URL of your Sensu API end point (defaults to nil) chef_client.sensu_stash_timeout - the duration in seconds between when a client is silenced and when that silenced stash should be considered expired (defaults to 3600)

Recipes

default - The default recipe activates Chef::Handler::Sensu::Silence as a 'start' handler and Chef::Handler::Sensu::Unsilence as both a exception handler and a report handler, and manually triggers the Chef start handlers a second time. This has the effect of silencing Sensu checks against a client matching the name of the Chef node for the duration of the Chef run.
