core/v2/tessen

NOTE: Requests to core/v2/tessen API endpoints require you to authenticate with a Sensu API key or access token. The code examples in this document use the environment variable $SENSU_API_KEY to represent a valid API key in API requests.

The core/v2/tessen API endpoints provide HTTP access to manage Tessen configuration. Access to core/v2/tessen is restricted to the default admin user.

Get the active Tessen configuration

The /tessen API endpoint provides HTTP GET access to the active Tessen configuration.

curl -X GET \
http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/core/v2/tessen \
-H "Authorization: Key $SENSU_API_KEY"

The request returns an HTTP 200 OK response and a JSON map that contains the active Tessen configuration, indicating whether Tessen is enabled:

Opt in to or out of Tessen

NOTE: Tessen is enabled by default on Sensu backends and required for licensed Sensu instances. If you have a licensed instance and want to opt out of Tessen, contact your account manager.

In the following example, an HTTP PUT request is submitted to the /tessen API endpoint to opt in to Tessen using the opt_out attribute:

curl -X PUT \

-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
