Sensu Runbook

Table of Contents

Overview

Execute commands and custom scripts on Sensu Agent nodes. Sensu Go offers several unique attributes that make it a compelling runbook automation platform, including:

  • Namespaces & RBAC. Sensu Go is a multi-tenant platform, with SSO and API
    Keys, enabling self-service runbook automation
  • Secure transport. Sensu offers TLS certificate-based auth & TLS encrypted
    transport
  • Publish/subscribe model of communication. No centralized system with "keys to
    the kingdom" to remotely access target nodes and execute arbitrary commands
  • Sensu Assets. Use Sensu to securely automate distribution of custom
    runbook code (e.g. shell scripts or python scripts)
  • Sensu Tokens. Use Sensu's powerful templating system to create dynamic
    runbook automations that can scale to thousands of nodes
  • Event processing. Integrate with Slack, Pagerduty, ServiceNow, VictorOps,
    JIRA, and more
  • Code reuse. Reuse ad hoc runbook scripts as monitoring checks or automated
    remediations using Sensu Go
  • Audit logging. The runbook configuration, request, execution, and event
    processing are all logged by Sensu
  • Much, much, more...
