Sensu

This role deploys a full Sensu stack, a modern, open source monitoring framework.

Features

Deploy a full Sensu stack, including RabbitMQ, redis, and the Uchiwa dashboard
Full support for Sensu Enterprise
Tight integration with the Ansible inventory - deployment of monitoring checks based on inventory grouping
Fine grained control over dynamic client configurations
Remote plugin deployment
Automatic generation and dynamic deployment of SSL certs for secure communication between your clients and servers
Highly configurable

Batteries included, but not imposed

Along with deploying the Sensu Server, API and clients, this role can deploy a full stack: RabbitMQ, redis, and the Uchiwa dashboard. However, if you want to rely on other roles/management methods to deploy/manage these services, it's nice and easy to integrate this role.
