Sensu’s Approach to Nagios Plugin Support
It’s officially been seven years since I started hacking on a monitoring project that would become Sensu. My goal was to replace a fragile Nagios installation that couldn’t keep up with the demands of dynamic public cloud infrastructure — a challenge that still rings true for companies everywhere.
A key part of the Sensu story, as you can see in the very first commit, is our support for Nagios service checks. I think the Nagios service check specification is awesome and underappreciated, so I wanted to share a little more on how and why we support it in Sensu. https://goo.gl/eS1C22 #DataIntegration #ML
