SensuEvent

A Chef report handler to trigger an event in Sensu given a failed Chef run

Usage

The Chef docs [1] lay out a pretty simple way to use handlers by leveraging the chef_handler resource. Just ship the chef-handler-sensu-event.rb file to your handlers location and declare a new handler:

cookbook_file "#{node[:chef_handler][:handler_path]}/chef-handler-sensu-event.rb" do
  source 'chef-handler-sensu-event.rb'
  mode 00600
end

chef_handler 'SensuEvent' do
  source "#{node[:chef_handler][:handler_path]}/chef-handler-sensu-event.rb"
  action :enable
end

Obviously make sure to copy the ruby file into the /files/default directory of your cookbook as well. Alternatively, install it as a Rubygem and source it that way:

chef_gem 'chef-handler-sensu-event' do
  action :install
end

chef_handler 'Chef::Handler::SensuEvent' do
  source ::File.join(Gem.all_load_paths.grep(/chef-handler-sensu-event/).first,
                     'chef-handler-sensu-event.rb')
  action :enable
end
