Sensu Go Aggregate Check Plugin

Overview

An aggregate makes it possible to treat the result of multiple disparate check executions executed across multiple disparate systems as a single result (Event). Aggregates are extremely useful in dynamic environments and/or environments that have a reasonable tolerance for failure. Aggregates should be used when a service can be considered healthy as long as a minimum threshold is satisfied (e.g. are at least 5 healthy web servers? are at least 70% of N processes healthy?).

This plugin allows you to query the Sensu Go Backend API for Events matching certain criteria (labels). This plugin generates a set of counters (e.g. events total, events in an OK state, etc) from the Events query and provides several CLI arguments to evaluate the computed aggregate counters (e.g. --warn-percent=75).
