Sensu Go Load Check

Overview

This plugin provides native load instrumentation including load health and per-core metrics. The sensu-go-load-check check takes the flags -w (warning) and -c (critical) and a desired L1/L5/L15. By default, these are a warning value of 2.75, 2.5, 2.0 and a critical value of 3.5, 3.25, 3.0. This check also outputs data as nagios_perfdata(for more information, see this Nagios documentation article. This allows for the check to be used as both a status check and a metric check. You can see an example of this in the example check definition below.

Configuration

Asset registration

Assets are the best way to make use of this check. If you're not using this plugin as an asset, please consider doing so! If you're using Sensu 5.13 or later, you can install this plugin as an asset by running:

sensuctl asset add Salamek/sensu-go-load-check

Else, you can find this asset on the Bonsai Asset Index.

Asset definition

You can download the asset definition there, or you can do a little bit of copy/pasta and use the one below:

---
type: Asset
api_version: core/v2
metadata:
  name: sensu-go-load-check
  namespace: CHANGEME
  labels: {}
  annotations: {}
spec:
  url: https://github.com/Salamek/sensu-go-load-check/releases/download/0.0.1/sensu-go-load-check_0.0.1_linux_amd64.tar.gz
  sha512:
  filters:
  - entity.system.os == 'linux'
  - entity.system.arch == 'amd64'

NOTE: PLEASE ENSURE YOU UPDATE YOUR URL AND SHA512 BEFORE USING THE ASSET. If you don't, you might just be stuck on a super old version. Don't say I didn't warn you ¯\(ツ)/¯
