It would be awesome if sensu's admin interface, or its dashboard (whatever) could display the metrics data it gathers from checks about sensu-admin HOT 5 OPEN

I think the fact that sensu doesn’t care about keeping the metrics is what keeps it so simple. It would be awesome if when you clicked on a client it would show the the checks that that host is running.

Also I will add this comment here too…. I would love if the checks could have an option to NOT show up on the dashboard… I put this on the google community site but Ill explain it here too..
“ I would like a check that can trigger a handler but not show up on the dashbaord as a warning... for example... we have a script that tells us when a machine has updates available but I would like that to trigger a handler to create a ticket/issue in jira and not show it on the dashboard forever.. is that possible?”

I think this would allow us to utilize sensu even more but not have to uglify the dashboard with non critical checks…

Also… does anyone have a sentry handler??? I guess that is the direction we are looking to for the future for log and event aggregation.

Thanks!

If you examine most other monitoring packages out there, you get a comprehensive listing of all the checks for a particular host, and you don't have do tie it all together yourself. Examples: newrelic, scout, zenoss, copperegg. If you click on a host in the list of hosts, you get all the graphs and alerts for that host.

Maybe I just don't get it?

I think I would find a reason to love sensu if it did this. But I must move on and evaluate something else.

Yeah, I see that. We already have logstash installed and would probably be good candidates for loggly as a result. However, I'm taking the discussion off topic right off the bat because I can't read your original post closely enough :)

These metrics are already being collected (and sent to graphite through the graphite handler / mutators). It would be nice if some default metrics were shown as graphs for each client, in the sensu web interface.

I agree it would be nice to see the metrics coming from a host in the admin, however when a node executes metric data and its sent somewhere (librato, graphite, etc) its not tied to that node in anyway, we would have to write a completely new handler and then have sensu admin keep the metrics for itself. Writing a complete metric system is no easy task, maybe graphite could be back ended and then using gdash or something for the front end but... Your talking a lot of work and it would remove keeping the sensu side as simple as possible.
