Sensu Reviews

The best thing I like about the software is its, end to end pipelining feature, which is helpful.

There is nothing that I don't like about this software.

I want others to use this fantastic software.

We have reduced our latencies while deploying faster codes.

The push/pull architecture makes Sensu super flexible, able to handle traditional deployments as well as cloud-native autoscaled / bursted workloads.

RabbitMQ can be complicated to operate at times. Also, some of the flexibility of Sensu encourages bad patterns, like writing smart monitoring scripts instead of having smarter health checks in the app.

Make sure you look at using Sensu 2.0 - which is rewritten in golang and removes the dependency on RabbitMQ.

Ensuring reliability for a SaaS platform in order to meet customer SLAs.

Sensu is a web-based application for IT management, application performance management, network monitoring, server management, and website monitoring. It is the system of identifying the issue in the It systems and networks, server performance; tells about the performance of the servers in the network monitoring, bandwidth monitoring, dashboard, internet usage monitoring, network diagnosis, SLA monitoring, server monitoring, uptime monitoring, CPU monitoring, Email monitoring, virtual machine monitoring, Alerts/Notifications, Availability Testing, Event Logs, FTP Monitoring, Mail Server Monitoring, Maintenance Scheduling, Performance Metrics, and uptime reporting.

This application is not available for the Mac, Windows, iPhone, Ipad, and Android devices. It has unique features for its management purpose but it does not have all the features for its complete uniqueness. It lacks the following features access control, inventory management, license management, maintenance scheduling, patch management, baseline manager, resource management, credential management, scheduling, real-time monitoring, and transaction monitoring. These features are very useful but it lacks all these features it is a great disadvantage of this application.

My overall experience with this application is good because the most useful and advanced features of this application are capacity management which helps the users to manage the capacity of the It framework, compliance management, issue auditing; for monitoring and management purpose.

we had to use Sensu for Cloud monitoring, it's easy to set up a Sensu server and distribute the Sensu agent across the cloud hosts, it grants the essential monitoring KPIs and gives insights into the cloud performance.

the communication protocol used for the APIs for the northbound interface is not secure, and this was our main concern using Sensu.

The key benefite for us when the Sensu is integrated with RedHat OpenStack version 16, This is our main driver to incorporate it into our cloud while the main vendor property product don't support this OSP version.
