You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install sensu.sensu_go.

To use it in a playbook, specify: sensu.sensu_go.check.

New in version 1.0.0: of sensu.sensu_go

Synopsis

Create, update or delete Sensu Go check.
For more information, refer to the Sensu Go documentation at https://docs.sensu.io/sensu-go/latest/reference/checks/.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

python >= 2.7

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
annotations dictionary			Custom metadata fields with fewer restrictions, as key/value pairs. These are preserved by Sensu but not accessible as tokens or identifiers, and are mainly intended for use with external tools.
auth dictionary			Authentication parameters. Can define each of them with ENV as well.
	api_key string added in 1.3.0 of sensu.sensu_go		The API key that should be used when authenticating. If this is not set, the value of the SENSU_API_KEY environment variable will be checked. This replaces auth.user and auth.password parameters. For more information about the API key, refer to the official Sensu documentation at https://docs.sensu.io/sensu-go/latest/guides/use-apikey-feature/.
	ca_path path added in 1.5.0 of sensu.sensu_go		Path to the CA bundle that should be used to validate the backend certificate. If this parameter is not set, module will use the CA bundle that python is using. It is also possible to set this parameter via the SENSU_CA_PATH environment variable.
	password string	Default: "P@ssw0rd!"	The Sensu user's password. If this is not set the value of the SENSU_PASSWORD environment variable will be checked. This parameter is ignored if the auth.api_key parameter is set.
	url string	Default: "http://localhost:8080"	Location of the Sensu backend API. If this is not set the value of the SENSU_URL environment variable will be checked.
	user string	Default: "admin"	The username to use for connecting to the Sensu API. If this is not set the value of the SENSU_USER environment variable will be checked. This parameter is ignored if the auth.api_key parameter is set.
	verify boolean added in 1.5.0 of sensu.sensu_go	Choices: no yes ←	Flag that controls the certificate validation. If you are using self-signed certificates, you can set this parameter to `false`. ONLY USE THIS PARAMETER IN DEVELOPMENT SCENARIOS! In you use self-signed certificates in production, see the auth.ca_path parameter. It is also possible to set this parameter via the SENSU_VERIFY environment variable.
check_hooks dictionary			A mapping of response codes to hooks which will be run by the agent when that code is returned. Note that the structure of this parameter is a bit different from the one described at https://docs.sensu.io/sensu-go/latest/reference/checks/#check-hooks-attribute. See check hooks example below for more information on exact mapping structure.
command string			Check command to run. Required if state is `present`.
cron string			Schedule check requests using crontab syntax. Cannot be used when interval option is used.
env_vars dictionary			A mapping of environment variable names and values to use with command execution.
handlers list / elements=string			List of handlers which receive check results.
high_flap_threshold integer			High flap threshold.
interval integer			Check request interval. Cannot be used when cron option is used.
labels dictionary			Custom metadata fields that can be accessed within Sensu, as key/value pairs.
low_flap_threshold integer			Low flap threshold.
name string / required			The Sensu resource's name. This name (in combination with the namespace where applicable) uniquely identifies the resource that Ansible operates on. If the resource with selected name already exists, Ansible module will update it to match the specification in the task. Consult the name metadata attribute specification in the upstream docs on https://docs.sensu.io/sensu-go/latest/reference/ for more details about valid names and other restrictions.
namespace string		Default: "default"	RBAC namespace to operate in. If this is not set the value of the SENSU_NAMESPACE environment variable will be used.
output_metric_format string		Choices: graphite_plaintext influxdb_line nagios_perfdata opentsdb_line	Enable parsing of metrics in the specified format from this check's output.
output_metric_handlers list / elements=string			List of handlers which receive check results. I'm not sure why this exists.
proxy_entity_name string			Entity name to associate this check with instead of the agent it ran on.
proxy_requests dictionary			Allows you to assign the check to run for multiple entities according to their entity_attributes.
	entity_attributes list / elements=string		List of attribute checks for determining which proxy entities this check should be scheduled against.
	splay boolean	Choices: no yes	Enables or disables splaying of check request scheduling.
	splay_coverage integer		Percentage of the `interval` over which to splay checks.
publish boolean		Choices: no yes	Enables or disables scheduled publication of check requests.
round_robin boolean		Choices: no yes	An array of environment variables to use with command execution.
runtime_assets list / elements=string			List of runtime assets required to run the check.
secrets list / elements=dictionary added in 1.6.0 of sensu.sensu_go			List of secrets that are available to the command.
	name string / required added in 1.6.0 of sensu.sensu_go		Variable name that will contain the sensitive data.
	secret string / required added in 1.6.0 of sensu.sensu_go		Name of the secret that contains sensitive data.
state string		Choices: present ← absent	Target state of the Sensu object.
stdin boolean		Choices: no yes	Enables writing of serialized JSON data to the check command's stdin. Only usable with checks written specifically for Sensu Go.
subscriptions list / elements=string			List of subscriptions which receive check requests. Required if state is `present`.
timeout integer			Check execution timeout.
ttl integer			Amount of time after which a check result is considered stale.

Examples

- name: Check executing command every 30 seconds
  sensu.sensu_go.check:
    name: check
    command: check-cpu.sh -w 75 -c 90
    subscriptions:
      - checks
    interval: 30
    publish: yes

- name: Check executing command with cron scheduler
  sensu.sensu_go.check:
    name: check
    command: check-cpu.sh -w 75 -c 90
    subscriptions:
      - systems
    handlers:
      - slack
    cron: "* * * * *"
    publish: yes

- name: Ad-hoc scheduling
  sensu.sensu_go.check:
    name: check
    command: check-cpu.sh -w 75 -c 90
    subscriptions:
      - systems
    handlers:
      - slack
    interval: 60
    publish: no

- name: Report events under proxy entity name instead of agent entity
  sensu.sensu_go.check:
    name: check
    command: http_check.sh https://sensu.io
    subscriptions:
      - proxy
    handlers:
      - slack
    interval: 60
    proxy_entity_name: sensu-site
    round_robin: yes

  sensu.sensu_go.check:
    name: check
    command: http_check.sh https://sensu.io
    subscriptions: [ proxy ]
    # The upstream JSON payload for the hooks below would look like this:
    #
    #   "check_hooks": [
    #     {"0": ["passing-hook", "always-run-this-hook"]},
    #     {"critical": ["failing-hook", "always-run-this-hook"]}
    #   ]
    #
    # Ansible task simplifies this structure into a simple mapping:
    check_hooks:
      "0":
        - passing-hook
        - always-run-this-hook
      critical:
        - failing-hook
        - always-run-this-hook

- name: Remove check
  sensu.sensu_go.check:
    name: my-check
    state: absent

Return Values

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

object dictionary	success	Object representing Sensu check. Sample: {'command': 'collect.sh', 'handlers': ['slack'], 'interval': 10, 'metadata': {'name': 'check_minimum', 'namespace': 'default'}, 'publish': True, 'subscriptions': ['system']}
