Summary

InfluxDB is a time series database that offers ease of use and vast documentation, making it a cohesive fit for various stacks. Sensu Go is an observability event pipeline that collects, processes, and routes different event types, including discovery, availability, telemetry, and alerts. An InfluxDB Template can be used to monitor Sensu Go by utilizing the /metrics API endpoint that advertises Prometheus metrics. This template facilitates working with time series data and provides a more direct line to how Sensu is running internally, allowing for metric extraction and analysis. With some basic knowledge of deploying Sensu Go and working with Telegraf plugins, it's easy to use this template, making it a useful tool for DevOps operators of Sensu and other systems.
