Monitoring as code for modern DevOps teams

Software engineering teams that adopt “as-code” practices, like using configuration files and automated workflows instead of manual configuration and tools, gain major improvements in velocity. But even companies that enjoy the success of as-code practices for development and delivery lag behind in applying them to operational concerns like monitoring and observability.

Nagios Alternatives: Migrating from Nagios to Sensu

If you have worked in any part of the application delivery lifecycle long enough, there’s a very good chance you have directly used or been a consumer of Nagios. For a period of time in the early 2000s, it was the go-to solution for basic server monitoring and alerts. Fast forward 20 years and you might be surprised how many organizations still rely on Nagios for mission critical workloads — although not without a fair amount of duct tape and super glue challenges.

JavaScript Mutators & The Programmable Observability Pipeline

JavaScript mutators shine among the improvements in Sensu Go 6.5 – they are both more effective and more efficient at transforming Sensu event data than pipe mutators. This post explores the advantages of JavaScript mutators and includes an example, but first, a brief review. In the Sensu observability pipeline, checks generate events, which Sensu then filters, transforms, and processes. A mutator is a component that transforms the event data.

Introducing the Sensu pipeline resource

Sensu’s observability pipeline includes resources for collecting, filtering, transforming, and processing observability data: checks, event filters, mutators, and handlers. These resources and Sensu’s observability pipeline concept are well seasoned and widely used at thousands of companies. However, configuration can be somewhat unintuitive, especially for new users.

LDAP authentication with Sensu Go: troubleshooting & tips (Part 2)

Sensu creator and Developer Advocate Todd Campbell recently wrote about using LDAP authentication for single-sign on (SSO) with Sensu Go. That post provided a great overview of Sensu authentication and included some useful LDAP troubleshooting tips. In this post, we'll focus on the Sensu LDAP implementation and explore how SSO/LDAP users are linked to RBAC "profiles" (i.e. Roles and ClusterRoles). We'll also demonstrate how Sensu supports multiple LDAP providers thanks to its groups_prefix feature.
