Sensu
Event-based monitoring and observability pipeline that gives teams full control over how monitoring events are processed and routed.
- Actively maintained
- Well documented
- Permissive license
Overview
Sensu treats every check result and metric as an event that flows through a configurable pipeline, where a team decides exactly how each event should be filtered, transformed, and routed to alerting, ticketing, or storage systems - rather than a fixed collect-then-alert model. It supports both push and pull-based checks.
Sensu is a fit for teams that want fine-grained control over monitoring event processing and routing logic, a different architectural approach than the dashboard-and-query model of Grafana and Prometheus already in this catalog.
