sensu-redis-simple-test

This is a very simple Redis check of connectivity written in Python. To make it a single file I used Pyinstaller.

Why create another Redis check

The current one I found here doesn't want to work so I created my own. Also I wanted to be able to run simple tests written in Python quickly. But I needed those tests to be able to call to external modules so I ended up using Pyinstaller to make the tests executable.

If you want to use this repo as blueprint to build your own checks consider that in the build.sh file I use docker to build executables to the same machine specification of the Sensu alpine image.

To install

sensuctl asset add maikeldotuk/sensu-redis-simple-test

Pass the next environment variables in your check config:

REDIS_HOST
REDIS_PORT (if ommited uses default)
REDIS_PASS
