handler-plugin-template is a template repository which wraps the Sensu Plugin SDK. To use this project as a template, click the "Use this template" button from the main project page. Once the repository is created from this template, you can use the Sensu Plugin Tool to populate the templated fields with the proper values.

After successfully creating a project from this template, update the Config struct with any configuration options for the plugin, map those values as plugin options in the variable options, and customize the checkArgs and executeHandler functions in main.go.

When writing or updating a plugin's README from this template, review the Sensu Community plugin README style guide for content suggestions and guidance. Remove everything prior to # {{ .Name }} from the generated README file, and add additional context about the plugin per the style guide.

To release a version of your project, simply tag the target sha with a semver release without a v prefix (ex. 1.0.0). This will trigger the GitHub action workflow to build and release the plugin with goreleaser. Register the asset with Bonsai to share it with the community!

Sensu Assets are the best way to make use of this plugin. If you're not using an asset, please consider doing so! If you're using sensuctl 5.13 with Sensu Backend 5.13 or later, you can use the following command to add the asset:

sensuctl asset add {{ .GithubUser }}/{{ .GithubProject }}

If you're using an earlier version of sensuctl, you can find the asset on the [Bonsai Asset Index][https://bonsai.sensu.io/assets/{{ .GithubUser }}/{{ .GithubProject }}].

This handler supports the use of the environment variables HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, and NO_PROXY (or the lowercase versions thereof). HTTPS_PROXY takes precedence over HTTP_PROXY for https requests. The environment values may be either a complete URL or a "host[:port]", in which case the "http" scheme is assumed.

All arguments for this handler are tunable on a per entity or check basis based on annotations. The annotations keyspace for this handler is sensu.io/plugins/{{ .GithubProject }}/config.

api_version: core/v2
metadata:
  annotations:
    sensu.io/plugins/{{ .GithubProject }}/config/example-argument: "Example change"
