Synopsis

Send a synthetic event to Sensu.
For more information, refer to the Sensu documentation at https://docs.sensu.io/sensu-go/latest/reference/events/.

Requirements

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

python >= 2.7

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
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 string / required			Name of the check associated with this event. It must exist before event creation.
check_attributes dictionary			Additional check parameters. Find out more at https://docs.sensu.io/sensu-go/latest/reference/events/#check-attributes.
	duration float		Command execution time in seconds.
	executed integer		Time that the check request was executed.
	history list / elements=dictionary		Check status history for the last 21 check executions.
	issued integer		Time that the check request was issued in seconds since the Unix epoch.
	last_ok integer		The last time that the check returned an OK status (0) in seconds since the Unix epoch.
	output string		The output from the execution of the check command.
	state string	Choices: passing failing flapping	The state of the check.
	status string	Choices: ok warning critical unknown	Exit status code produced by the check.
	total_state_change integer		The total state change percentage for the check's history.
entity string / required			Name of the entity associated with this event. It must exist before event creation.
metric_attributes dictionary			Metric attributes. Find out more at https://docs.sensu.io/sensu-go/latest/reference/events/#metric-attributes.
	handlers list / elements=string		An array of Sensu handlers to use for events created by the check. Each array item must be a string.
	points list / elements=dictionary		Metric data points including a name, timestamp, value, and tags.
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.
timestamp integer			UNIX time at which the event occurred.

Notes

Note

Metric events bypass the store and are sent off to the event pipeline and corresponding event handlers. Read more about this at https://docs.sensu.io/sensu-go/latest/reference/events/#metric-only-events.
