Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
address string		An address to help identify and reach the client. This is only informational, usually an IP address or hostname. If not specified it defaults to non-loopback IPv4 address as determined by Ruby Socket.ip_address_list (provided by Sensu).
chef dictionary		The chef definition scope, used to configure the Sensu Enterprise Chef integration (Sensu Enterprise users only).
deregister boolean	Choices: no yes	If a deregistration event should be created upon Sensu client process stop. Default is false.
deregistration dictionary		The deregistration definition scope, used to configure automated Sensu client de-registration.
ec2 dictionary		The ec2 definition scope, used to configure the Sensu Enterprise AWS EC2 integration (Sensu Enterprise users only).
keepalive dictionary		The keepalive definition scope, used to configure Sensu client keepalives behavior (e.g. keepalive thresholds, etc).
keepalives boolean	Choices: no yes ←	If Sensu should monitor keepalives for this client.
name string		A unique name for the client. The name cannot contain special characters or spaces. If not specified, it defaults to the system hostname as determined by Ruby Socket.gethostname (provided by Sensu).
puppet dictionary		The puppet definition scope, used to configure the Sensu Enterprise Puppet integration (Sensu Enterprise users only).
redact list / elements=string		Client definition attributes to redact (values) when logging and sending client keepalives.
registration dictionary		The registration definition scope, used to configure Sensu registration event handlers.
safe_mode boolean	Choices: no ← yes	If safe mode is enabled for the client. Safe mode requires local check definitions in order to accept a check request and execute the check.
servicenow dictionary		The servicenow definition scope, used to configure the Sensu Enterprise ServiceNow integration (Sensu Enterprise users only).
socket dictionary		The socket definition scope, used to configure the Sensu client socket.
state string	Choices: present ← absent	Whether the client should be present or not
subscriptions list / elements=string		An array of client subscriptions, a list of roles and/or responsibilities assigned to the system (e.g. webserver). These subscriptions determine which monitoring checks are executed by the client, as check requests are sent to subscriptions. The subscriptions array items must be strings.
