Sensu Introduction

Abstract:

This talk is an introduction to Sensu, an open source monitoring framework designed for the "cloud". I tell the story of how Sensu came to be, it's design goals, and the philosophy behind it. I explain how Sensu works, how it's configured, and provide practical usage examples. I share my experiences operating Sensu at scale and demonstrate what it's like to work with Sensu and Opscode's Chef.
