What are built-in filters?

Sensu Enterprise has several built-in event filters, used by many of the third-party integrations, and made available to standard Sensu event handlers. These enterprise filters can be used to combat alert fatigue.

Using multiple built-in filters

Multiple enterprise filters can be applied to standard Sensu event handlers. The following example event handler uses the handle_when and silence_stashes event filters.

{
  "handlers": {
    "custom_mailer": {
      "type": "pipe",
      "command": "custom_mailer.rb",
      "filters": [
        "handle_when",
        "silence_stashes"
      ]
    }
  }
