💻 The Sensu Go Workshop is an instructor-led training series designed to empower developers, SREs, and DevOps teams begin their monitoring as code journeys.

Taking the Workshop will help you to:

✅ Take control of your monitoring and observability data with the Sensu Go observability pipeline
✅ Schedule monitoring jobs across elastic multi-cloud infrastructure to execute custom scripts, including Nagios-style plugins
✅ Collect custom application metrics and integrate observability data with external data platforms for unified business intelligence
✅ Send alerts via Slack, Microsoft Teams, Pagerduty, ServiceNow, and more
✅ Fine tune observability data processing workflows and eliminate alert fatigue using Sensu Go filters
✅ Automate multi-cloud endpoint management – discovering new VMs, public cloud compute instances, containers, and more in real-time
✅ Automate remediation (self-healing) with Sensu Go

LESSON ONE OVERVIEW

In Lesson 1️⃣, we will introduce the Sensu observability pipeline. You will learn about Sensu's architecture, its underlying data model, and how its unique set of features can be used to implement a monitoring-as-code workflow within your organization.

This lesson is intended for operators of Sensu, or anyone who would like a short semi-technical introduction to Sensu.
