Sensu
The Observability Pipeline that delivers monitoring as code on any cloud

Sensu is an observability pipeline platform that consolidates monitoring tools and fills gaps between metrics, logging, and tracing across multi-cloud and hybrid infrastructure. It codifies monitoring workflows as declarative configuration files (monitoring as code) that can be versioned, reviewed, and shared. Sensu automates server and container registration/deregistration and supports self-healing workflows, integrating with tools like Nagios, Prometheus, Telegraf, Slack, and Ansible Tower.
Sensu deploys a backend and agents (via Docker or native packages) managed through a CLI tool called sensuctl, allowing teams to define checks, filters, and handlers as code that automate monitoring, diagnosis, and self-healing workflows.
