This will get you set up with Sensu (including the Admin), BatsD, and a sample Rails app instrumenting business metrics.

- /batsd - This holds the configuration for running BatsD
- /batsd-dashboard - A simple dashboard built on top of the BatsD server @ http://github.com/mikeycgto/batsd-dash
- /vendor/batsd - A clone of the BatsD server @ http://github.com/noahhl/batsd
- /sensu - Contains custom checks, handlers, and the Sensu configuration
- /vendor/sensu-admin - A clone of the Sensu Admin rails app @ http://github.com/sensu/sensu-admin
- /vendor/sensu-community-plugins - A clone of the community checks / handlers @ http://github.com/sensu/sensu-community-plugins
- /testapp - This is a basic Rails app that demonstrates instrumentation of your code
All of these commands should be run from the root directory of this project.
1. Install Redis on localhost:6379
sudo apt-get install redis-server
2. Install RabbitMQ on localhost:5672 with guest/guest auth
sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server
3. Install gems for BatsD, Sensu, Sensu Admin, your Rails app, and this project
gem install bundler
bundle install --gemfile=sensu/Gemfile
bundle install --gemfile=vendor/sensu-admin/Gemfile
bundle install --gemfile=batsd-dashboard/Gemfile
bundle install --gemfile=vendor/batsd/Gemfile
bundle install --gemfile=testapp/Gemfile
bundle install
4. Set up Sensu Admin app:
BUNDLE_GEMFILE=vendor/sensu-admin/Gemfile bundle exec rake db:create --rakefile vendor/sensu-admin/Rakefile
BUNDLE_GEMFILE=vendor/sensu-admin/Gemfile bundle exec rake db:migrate --rakefile vendor/sensu-admin/Rakefile
BUNDLE_GEMFILE=vendor/sensu-admin/Gemfile bundle exec rake db:seed --rakefile vendor/sensu-admin/Rakefile
5. Set up Test Rails App:
BUNDLE_GEMFILE=testapp/Gemfile bundle exec rake db:create --rakefile testapp/Rakefile
BUNDLE_GEMFILE=testapp/Gemfile bundle exec rake db:migrate --rakefile testapp/Rakefile
6. Fill in auth details for PagerDuty
See sensu/config.d/handlers/pagerduty.json
7. Fire everything up!
bundle exec foreman start
You'll need to wait a minute or two before checks start firing off and a few more minutes until data starts showing up in BatsD.
Once everything is up and running here are a few notes...
Open the admin website at http://localhost:4568. Use admin@example.com / secret as the e-mail / password.
To simulate ad view business metric: http://localhost:3000/ads/1
To simulate conversion business metric: Click "Create conversion" at http://localhost:3000/ads/1
To simulate counts for different response codes, just generate a 404 by going to an invalid URL or generate a 200 by going to a valid URL like http://localhost:3000/ads/1
Open the dashboard at http://localhost:8128. Note that this is a very raw dashboard.
