This Sensu Go filter looks for dependencies defined in check and entity annotations and invokes the sensu.CheckDependencies
query expression to determine if any of the defined dependecies are in a non-OK state.
The coreDependencies
function implemented by this library is intended as proof-of-concept reproduction of the Sensu Core dependencies
filter.
In Sensu Core the dependencies were expressed as an array. For this implementation I've chosen to use comma separated values.
Given you have a check called https-health
which monitors your website's /health endpoint, you want to suppress alerts from the https-cert
check when https-health
is in a non-OK state:
type: CheckConfig
api_version: core/v2
metadata:
name: https-cert
annotations:
dependencies: https-health
spec:
command: check-https-cert.rb --url https://www.example.com
handlers:
- pagerduty
interval: 60
subscriptions:
- website
Provided that the pagerduty
handler has been configured as shown below in Usage examples, the dependencies
annotation with the value https-health
will prevent alerts from https-cert
from reaching pagerduty when https-health
is not OK.
Given you have an agent running in a remote site with unreliable network link. Sometimes the ethernet cable falls out of port 5 on the switch, other times the ISP link fails. And yet you soldier on. It's fine.
You want to suppress alerts from any check this agent runs when either
a. the remote-site-link
is in a non-OK state
b. the state of check port5
on entity remote-switch
is in a non-OK state (entity/check
syntax)
For an agent entity, you can set this in the agent.yml annotations:
# agent.yml
annotations:
dependencies: remote-site-link,remote-switch/port5
Or whatever method as appropriate for the entity type or your Sensu version.
sensuctl asset add sensu/sensu-dependencies-filter -r dependencies-filter
Define an event filter using the coreDependencies
function. This function requires the event object as its only argument.
---
type: EventFilter
api_version: core/v2
metadata:
name: dependencies
namespace: default
spec:
action: allow
expressions:
- coreDependencies(event)
runtime_assets:
- dependencies-filter
Add the filter to any of your existing handlers. Here's a Pagerduty handler with the above event filter applied:
---
type: Handler
api_version: core/v2
metadata:
name: pagerduty
namespace: default
spec:
type: pipe
command: sensu-pagerduty-handler
timeout: 10
runtime_assets:
- sensu-pagerduty-handler
filters:
- dependencies-filter
Inspired by Sensu Core dependencies filter extension.
