In this tutorial, we will be installing Sensu on a CentOS 7 VPS. We will also show you how to set it up, that way you can start using it right away.
Sensu is a comprehensive multi-cloud monitoring solution for extensive monitoring of businesses’ IT infrastructure. Sensu is composed of a backend, wherein all data will be gathered and checked, and an agent, which will act as the client host that sends checks/requests to the backend for processing.
Some of Sensu’s key features are the following:
- Automated workflow monitoring
- Fast incident response and alert notifications
- Support for collecting and storing industry-standard metrics
- A built-in command line tool (sensuctl)
- Up-to-date API and modern dashboard interface included by default
