Event Stream

ENTERPRISE: Built-in integrations are available for Sensu Enterprise users only.

Overview

The event stream integrations sends all Sensu events to a remote TCP socket for complex event processing (or “stream processing”) and/or long-term storage.

Configuration

Example(s)

The following is an example configuration for the event_stream enterprise event handler (integration).

{
  "event_stream": {
    "host": "127.0.0.1",
    "port": 3000,
    "filter_metrics": true,
    "filter_ok_keepalives": true,
    "ring_buffer_size": 1500
  }
}

Integration specification

event_stream attributes

host
description The remote host address.
required false
type String
default 127.0.0.1
example 
"host": "moogserver-01.company.com"
port
description The remote TCP port.
required false
type Integer
default 3000
example 
"port": 3333
filter_metrics
description If events with a type of metric are relayed to the remote socket.
required false
type Boolean
default false
example 
"filter_metrics": true
filter_ok_keepalives
description If OK keepalive events are relayed to the remote socket.
required false
type Boolean
default false
example 
"filter_ok_keepalives": true
ring_buffer_size
description By default, the event stream integration uses a data stream buffer to protect Sensu Enterprise from reaching an out-of-memory state. The ring_buffer_size attribute sets the limit for writes to the buffer. In the event of a connection interruption, the buffer begins discarding older data once it reaches the limit. Once the connection is re-established, the event stream sends the remaining data in the buffer. To disable the buffer, set ring_buffer_size to nil.
required false
type Integer
default 1000
example 
"ring_buffer_size": 1500
