=== About Sensu - From Sensu site ===


Sensu is often described as the "monitoring router". Essentially, Sensu takes the results of "check" scripts run across many systems, and if certain conditions are met; passes their information to one or more "handlers". Checks are used, for example, to determine if a service like Apache is up or down. Checks can also be used to collect data, such as MySQL query statistics or Rails application metrics. Handlers take actions, using result information, such as sending an email, messaging a chat room, or adding a data point to a graph. There are several types of handlers, but the most common and most powerful is "pipe", a script that receives data via standard input. Check and handler scripts can be written in any language, and the community repository continues to grow!
