sensu_handler – Manages Sensu handler configuration

New in version 2.4.

Synopsis

• Manages Sensu handler configuration
• For more information, refer to the Sensu documentation: https://sensuapp.org/docs/latest/reference/handlers.html

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
command -		The handler command to be executed. The event data is passed to the process via STDIN. NOTE: the command attribute is only required for Pipe handlers (i.e. handlers configured with "type": "pipe").
filter -		The Sensu event filter (name) to use when filtering events for the handler.
filters -		An array of Sensu event filters (names) to use when filtering events for the handler. Each array item must be a string.
handle_flapping boolean	Choices: no ← yes	If events in the flapping state should be handled.
handle_silenced boolean	Choices: no ← yes	If events matching one or more silence entries should be handled.
handlers -		An array of Sensu event handlers (names) to use for events using the handler set. Each array item must be a string. NOTE: the handlers attribute is only required for handler sets (i.e. handlers configured with "type": "set").
mutator -		The Sensu event mutator (name) to use to mutate event data for the handler.
name - / required		A unique name for the handler. The name cannot contain special characters or spaces.
pipe -		The pipe definition scope, used to configure the Sensu transport pipe. NOTE: the pipe attribute is only required for Transport handlers (i.e. handlers configured with "type": "transport").
severities -	Choices: warning critical unknown	An array of check result severities the handler will handle. NOTE: event resolution bypasses this filtering.
socket -		The socket definition scope, used to configure the TCP/UDP handler socket. NOTE: the socket attribute is only required for TCP/UDP handlers (i.e. handlers configured with "type": "tcp" or "type": "udp").
state -	Choices: present ← absent	Whether the handler should be present or not
timeout -	Default: 10	The handler execution duration timeout in seconds (hard stop). Only used by pipe and tcp handler types.
type - / required	Choices: pipe tcp udp transport set	The handler type

Notes

Note

• Check mode is supported

Examples

# Configure a handler that sends event data as STDIN (pipe)
- name: Configure IRC Sensu handler

    timeout: 15
  notify:
    - Restart sensu-client
    - Restart sensu-server

# Delete a handler
- name: Delete IRC Sensu handler
  sensu_handler:
    name: "irc_handler"
    state: "absent"

# Example of a TCP handler
- name: Configure TCP Sensu handler
  sensu_handler:
    name: "tcp_handler"
    type: "tcp"
    timeout: 30
    socket:
      host: "10.0.1.99"
      port: 4444
  register: handler
  notify:
