This git repo provides Sensu in a Docker container.
Project: [https://github.com/sstarcher/docker-sensu] (https://github.com/sstarcher/docker-sensu)
Docker image: [https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/sstarcher/sensu/] (https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/sstarcher/sensu/)
This is a base container for Sensu Core. It contains sensu-api, sensu-client, sensu-server, but does not contain any plugins.
Default configuration is to use redis as the transport. This allows us to not need rabbitmq.
This container can be configured to use runtime system information for checks and metrics from it's host.
Installed plugins for now can change without warning. If you need a specific plugin installed either build a container based off of this one our use RUNTIME_INSTALL to ensure your plugins are installed.
The client by default only loads files from /etc/sensu/conf.d.
The API by default loads files from:
/etc/sensu/conf.d/etc/sensu/check.d
The server by default loads files from:
/etc/sensu/conf.d/etc/sensu/check.d/etc/sensu/handlers
These defaults could be configured via environment variables:
ENV CONFIG_DIR /etc/sensu/conf.d
ENV CHECK_DIR /etc/sensu/check.d
ENV HANDLERS_DIR /etc/sensu/handlers
If you want sensu-client to use runtime system information for checks and metrics from container's host system (not from sensu container itself) you should:
- Define volumes to access host's filesystem from
sensucontainer :
/dev:/host_dev/:ro
/proc:/host_proc/:ro
/sys:/host_sys/:ro
- Redefine environment variables :
HOST_DEV_DIR: /host_dev
HOST_PROC_DIR: /host_proc
HOST_SYS_DIR: /host_sys
All Sensu plugins will be automatically configured to use these paths instead of default ones.

You can use docker-compose.yaml to run everything locally.
Multiple plugins will be installed in parallel. However, if fetching and compiling too many dependencies at the same time cause issues, set PARALLEL_INSTALLATION to 0.
If you want to keep the installed build tools and the apt cache, set UNINSTALL_BUILD_TOOLS to 0.
GEM_SOURCES can be used to add additional gem sources (such as https://ruby.taobao.org/ for China).
Due to build time errors and increased start time this is not recommend outside of testing.
RUNTIME_INSTALL will allow you to install additional plugins from github during runtime. The install format is USERNAME/repo@TAG. The default USERNAME is sensu-plugins and the default TAG is master. In place of a TAG a full git sha may be used.
Examples:
- https://github.com/sensu-plugins/sensu-plugins-disk-checks
- RUNTIME_INSTALL='disk-checks' will install the master branch
- RUNTIME_INSTALL='sensu-plugins/disk-checks@2.5.1 will install tag 0.5.1
- https://github.com/sstarcher/sensu-plugins-http
- RUNTIME_INSTALL='sstarcher/http` will install the master branch from the sstarcher organization on github for http
