Sensu Client for OpenBSD OS

Question

we are migrating or monitoring from nagios to sensu and part of this is moving our openbsd servers to sensu. i know there is no native client for this but i have been wondering if anyone has tried and succeeded at this.

couldn't find anything much helpful so far so any help will appreciated.

all i found so far was this link but i couldn't figure out how he did this.

i also tried creating a new box and installing the sensu client via gem install sensu, the install finished with no errors but the client did not run and i got this:

-bash-4.3# sensu-client18

EDIT: i should mention, i am very new to ruby so i might be missing something very dumb here

Answer 1

I tried in and adJ OpenBSD 6.0 and it seems to work fine.

$ doas pkg_add ruby
$ doas gem install sensu
$ sensu-client -V
0.26.5

I even could start the server and the client using redis as transport.
