Sensu Ansible Handler

Overview

A Sensu Go Handler for launching Ansible Tower Job Templates for automated
remediation.

NOTE: this is an experimental pre-release of a commercially licensed Sensu Go
integration.

Usage example(s)

Coming soon...

Configuration

Sensu configuration

---
type: Handler
api_version: core/v2
metadata:
  name: ansible-tower
  namespace: default
  annotations: |
    [
      {
        "template_name": "Start NGINX",
        "template_id": 7,
        "inventory_name": "Web Servers",
        "inventory_id": 2,
        "limit": "",
        "occurrences": [ 3 ],
        "severities": [ 1, 2 ]
      }
    ]
spec:
  type: pipe
  command: sensu-ansible-handler
  timeout: 10
  env_vars:
  - "ANSIBLE_HOST=127.0.0.1"
  - "ANSIBLE_TOKEN=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

NOTE: the attributes "template_name" and "inventory_name" are currently
unused. Support for referencing job templates and inventories by name (rather
than ID) will come in a future update.

Ansible configuration

Sensu will require a valid auth token to communicate with the Ansible Tower API.
Please note the following instructions on how to generate/obtain a valid Ansible
Tower authorization token.

  1. Register Sensu as an Application in Ansible Tower.

    $ ANSIBLE_AUTH=$(curl -XPOST -sku ${ANSIBLE_USER}:${ANSIBLE_PASS} -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"organization": 1, "client_type": "confidential", "name": "Sensu Go", "authorization_grant_type": "implicit", "redirect_uris": "https://'${ANSIBLE_HOST}'/api/"}' \
      https://${ANSIBLE_HOST}/api/v2/applications/)
    
  2. Get an OAuth Token.

    $ ANSIBLE_CLIENT_ID=$(echo $ANSIBLE_AUTH | jq -r .client_id)
    $ ANSIBLE_CLIENT_SECRET=$(echo $ANSIBLE_AUTH | jq -r .client_secret)
    $ open "http://${ANSIBLE_HOST}/api/o/authorize/?response_type=token&scope=read%20write&client_id=${ANSIBLE_CLIENT_ID}"

Development & Troubleshooting

  • Get a list of organizations by ID:

    $ curl -XGET -sku ${ANSIBLE_USER}:${ANSIBLE_PASS} -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      "https://${ANSIBLE_HOST}/api/v2/organizations/"
    
  • Create an inventory:

    $ curl -XPOST -H "Authorization: Bearer ${ANSIBLE_TOKEN}" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"name": "Sensu Go", "organization": 1}' \
      "https://${ANSIBLE_HOST}/api/v2/inventories/"
    
  • Create a host:

    $ curl -XPOST -H "Authorization: Bearer ${ANSIBLE_TOKEN}" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"name": "server-01", "enabled": true, "instance_id": "", "variables": "{\"ansible_host\": \"10.0.1.101\"}"}' \
      "https://${ANSIBLE_HOST}/api/v2/inventories/2/hosts/"
    
  • Launch a job template:

    $ curl -XPOST -H "Authorization: Bearer ${ANSIBLE_TOKEN}" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"inventory": 2, "limit": "server-01"}' "https://${ANSIBLE_HOST}/api/v2/job_templates/7/launch/"
    
  • Delete an application:

    $ curl -XDELETE -sku ${ANSIBLE_USER}:${ANSIBLE_PASS} -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      "https://${ANSIBLE_HOST}/api/v2/applications/1/"
    
  • Test an API Token:

    $ curl -XGET --insecure -I -H "Authorization: Bearer ${ANSIBLE_TOKEN}" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      "https://${ANSIBLE_HOST}/api/v2/job_templates/"
    

Roadmap

  • TODO: look at Sensu => Ansible registration handler for maintaining
    "Smart Inventories"
  • TODO: validate job template launch readiness via the GET /api/v2/job_templates/{id}/launch/ endpoint
  • TODO: lookup inventory by subscription name via the GET /api/v2/inventories/ endpoint
