Instance Method Details

#aggregate_check_result(client, check) ⇒ Object

Add a check result to one or more aggregates. The aggregate name is determined by the value of check ‘:aggregates` array, if present, and falling back to `:aggregate` otherwise.

When one or more aggregates are specified as ‘:aggregates`, the client name and check are updated on each aggregate.

When no aggregates are specified as ‘:aggregates`, and `:aggregate` is `true` (legacy), the check `:name` is used as the aggregate name.

When no aggregates are specified as ‘:aggregates` and check `:aggregate` is a string, it used as the aggregate name.

This method will add the client name to configured aggregates, all other processing (e.g. counters) is done by the Sensu API on request.

Parameters:

  • client (Hash)
  • check (Hash)

  end
end

#become_the_leaderObject

Become the Sensu server leader, responsible for specific duties (‘leader_duties()`). Unless the current process is already the leader, this method sets the leader ID stored in Redis to the unique random leader ID for the process. If the leader ID in Redis is successfully updated, `@is_leader` is set to true and `leader_duties()` is called to begin the tasks/duties of the Sensu server leader.

  else
    @logger.debug("i am already the leader")
  end
end

#bootstrapObject

Bootstrap the Sensu server process, setting up the keepalive and check result consumers, and attemping to become the leader to carry out its duties. This method sets the process/daemon ‘@state` to `:running`.

Parameters:

  • check (Hash)

    definition.

  current_time = (Time.now.to_f * 1000).to_i
  (splay_hash - current_time) % (check[:interval] * 1000) / 1000.0
end

#check_flapping?(stored_event, check) ⇒ TrueClass, FalseClass

Determine if a check state is flapping, rapidly changing between an OK and non-OK state. Flap detection is only done for checks that have defined low and hight flap detection thresholds, ‘:low_flap_threshold` and `:high_flap_threshold`. The `check_history()` method provides the check history and more importantly the total state change precentage value that is compared with the configured thresholds defined in the check data. If a check hasn’t been flapping, the ‘:total_state_change` must be equal to or higher than the `:high_flap_threshold` to be changed to flapping. If a check has been flapping, the `:total_state_change` must be equal to or lower than the `:low_flap_threshold` to no longer be flapping. This method uses the same algorithm as Nagios: nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/flapping.html

Parameters:

  • stored_event (Hash)
  • check (Hash)

Returns:

  • (TrueClass, FalseClass)

    false
  end
end

#check_history(client, check) {|history, total_state_change| ... } ⇒ Object

Fetch the execution history for a client/check pair, the 21 most recent check result statuses. This method also calculates the total state change percentage for the history, this value is use for check state flap detection, using a similar algorithm to Nagios: nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/flapping.html

Parameters:

  • client (Hash)
  • check (Hash)

Yields:

  • (history, total_state_change)

    callback/block to call with the check history and calculated total state change value.

Yield Parameters:

  • history (Array)

    containing the last 21 check result exit status codes.

  • total_state_change (Float)

    percentage for the check history (exit status codes).

  end
end

#create_client(name) ⇒ Hash

Create a blank client (data). Only the client name is known, the other client attributes must be updated via the API (POST /clients:client). Dynamically created clients and those updated via the API will have client keepalives disabled by default, ‘:keepalives` is set to `false`.

Parameters:

  • name (String)

    to use for the client.

Returns:

  • (Hash)

    client.

  }
end

#create_client_keepalive_check_results(clients) { ... } ⇒ Object

Create client keepalive check results. This method will retrieve clients from the registry, creating a keepalive check definition for each client, using the ‘create_keepalive_check()` method, containing client specific keepalive thresholds. If the time since the latest keepalive is equal to or greater than a threshold, the check `:output` is set to a descriptive message, and `:status` is set to the appropriate non-zero value. If a client has been sending keepalives, `:output` and `:status` are set to indicate an OK state. The `publish_check_result()` method is used to publish the client keepalive check results.

Parameters:

  • clients (Array)

    of client names.

Yields:

  • callback/block called after the client keepalive

    check results have been created.

#create_keepalive_check(client) ⇒ Object

Create a keepalive check definition for a client. Client definitions may contain ‘:keepalive` configuration, containing specific thresholds and handler information. The keepalive check definition creation begins with default thresholds, and sets the `:handler` to `keepalive`, if the handler has a local definition. If the client provides its own `:keepalive` configuration, it’s deep merged with the defaults. The check ‘:name`, `:issued`, and `:executed` values are always overridden to guard against an invalid definition.

#create_registration_check(client) ⇒ Object

Create a registration check definition for a client. Client definitions may contain ‘:registration` configuration, containing custom attributes and handler information. By default, the registration check definition sets the `:handler` to `registration`. If the client provides its own `:registration` configuration, it’s deep merged with the defaults. The check ‘:name`, `:output`, `:issued`, and `:executed` values are always overridden to guard against an invalid definition.

#derive_handlers(handler_list, depth = 0) ⇒ Array

Derive an array of handler definitions from a list of handler names. This method first checks for the existence of standard handlers, followed by handler extensions. If a handler does not exist for a name, it is logged and ignored. Duplicate handler definitions are removed.

Parameters:

  • handler_list (Array)
  • depth (Integer) (defaults to: 0)

    of handler set expansion.

Returns:

  • (Array)

#determine_stale_check_results(interval = 30) ⇒ Object

Determine stale check results, those that have not executed in a specified amount of time (check TTL). This method iterates through stored check results that have a defined TTL value (in seconds). The time since last check execution (in seconds) is calculated for each check result. If the time since last execution is equal to or greater than the check TTL, a warning check result is published with the appropriate check output.

#determine_stale_clientsObject

Determine stale clients, those that have not sent a keepalive in a specified amount of time. This method iterates through the client registry, creating a keepalive check result for each client. The ‘create_client_keepalive_check_results()` method is used to inspect and create keepalive check results for each slice of clients from the registry. A relatively small clients slice size (20) is used to reduce the number of clients inspected within a single tick of the EM reactor.

#event_silenced?(event) ⇒ Boolean

Determine if an event has been silenced. This method compiles an array of possible silenced registry entry keys for the event. An attempt is made to fetch one or more of the silenced registry entries to determine if the event has been silenced. The event data is updated to indicate if the event has been silenced. If the event is silenced and the event action is ‘:resolve`, silenced registry entries with `:expire_on_resolve` set to true will be deleted. Silencing is disabled for events with a check status of `0` (OK), unless the event action is `:resolve` or `:flapping`.

Parameters:

  • event (Hash)

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

#pauseObject

Pause the Sensu server process, unless it is being paused or has already been paused. The process/daemon ‘@state` is first set to `:pausing`, to indicate that it’s in progress. All run timers are cancelled, and the references are cleared. The Sensu server will unsubscribe from all transport subscriptions, resign as leader (if currently the leader), then set the process/daemon ‘@state` to `:paused`.

#process_check_result(result) ⇒ Object

Process a check result, storing its data, inspecting its contents, and taking the appropriate actions (eg. update the event registry). The ‘@in_progress` counter is incremented by `1` prior to check result processing and then decremented by `1` after updating the event registry. A check result must have a valid client name, associated with a client in the registry or one will be created. If a local check definition exists for the check name, and the check result is not from a standalone check execution, it’s merged with the check result for more context.

Parameters:

  • result (Hash)

    data.

#publish_check_request(check) ⇒ Object

Publish a check request to the Transport. A check request is composed of a check definition (minus ‘:subscribers` and `:interval`) and an `:issued` timestamp. The check request is published to a Transport pipe, for each of the check `:subscribers` in its definition, eg. “webserver”. JSON serialization is used when publishing the check request payload to the Transport pipes. Transport errors are logged.

Parameters:

  • check (Hash)

    definition.

#request_leader_electionObject

Request a leader election, a process to determine if the current process is the Sensu server leader, with its own/unique duties. A Redis key/value is used as a central lock, using the “SETNX” Redis command to set the key/value if it does not exist, using a timestamp for the value. If the current process was able to create the key/value, it is the leader, and must do the duties of the leader. If the current process was not able to create the key/value, but the current timestamp value is equal to or over 30 seconds ago, the “GETSET” Redis command is used to set a new timestamp and fetch the previous value to compare them, to determine if it was set by the current process. If the current process is able to set the timestamp value, it becomes the leader.

#resign_as_leaderObject

Resign as leader, if the current process is the Sensu server leader. This method cancels and clears the leader timers, those with references stored in the timers hash under ‘:leader`, and `@is_leader` is set to `false`. The leader ID and leader lock are not removed from Redis, as they will be updated when another server is elected to be the leader, this method does not need to handle Redis connectivity issues.

end

#resumeObject

Resume the Sensu server process if it is currently or will soon be paused. The ‘retry_until_true` helper method is used to determine if the process is paused and if the Redis and transport connections are initiated and connected. If the conditions are met, `bootstrap()` will be called and true is returned to stop `retry_until_true`. If the transport has not yet been initiated, true is is returned, without calling bootstrap, as we expect bootstrap will be called after the transport initializes.

#retrieve_client(result) {|client| ... } ⇒ Object

Retrieve a client (data) from Redis if it exists. If a client does not already exist, create one (a blank) using the ‘client_key` as the client name. Dynamically create client data can be updated using the API (POST /clients/:client). If a client does exist and it has a client signature, the check result must have a matching signature or it is discarded.

Parameters:

  • result (Hash)

    data.

Yields:

  • (client)

    callback/block to be called with client data, either retrieved from Redis, or dynamically created.

Yield Parameters:

  • client (Hash)

#schedule_check_executions(checks) ⇒ Object

Schedule check executions, using EventMachine periodic timers, using a calculated execution splay. The timers are stored in the timers hash under ‘:leader`, as check request publishing is a task for only the Sensu server leader, so they can be cancelled etc. Check requests are not published if subdued.

Parameters:

#setup_connections { ... } ⇒ Object

Set up the Redis and Transport connection objects, ‘@redis` and `@transport`. This method updates the Redis on error callback to reset the in progress check result counter. This method “drys” up many instances of `setup_redis()` and `setup_transport()`, particularly in the specs.

Yields:

  • callback/block called after connecting to Redis and the Sensu Transport.

  end
end

#setup_keepalivesObject

Set up the client keepalive consumer, keeping the Sensu client registry updated. The consumer receives JSON serialized client keepalives from the transport, parses them, and calls ‘update_client_registry()` with the client data to update the registry. Transport message acknowledgements are used to ensure the client registry is updated successfully. Keepalive JSON parsing errors are logged.

#setup_leader_monitorObject

Set up the leader monitor. A one-time timer is used to run ‘request_leader_exection()` in 2 seconds. A periodic timer is used to update the leader lock timestamp if the current process is the leader, or to run `request_leader_election(), every 10 seconds. The timers are stored in the timers hash under `:run`.

#setup_resultsObject

Set up the check result consumer. The consumer receives JSON serialized check results from the transport, parses them, and calls ‘process_check_result()` with the result data to be processed. Transport message acknowledgements are used to ensure that results make it to processing. The transport message acknowledgements are currently done in the next tick of the EventMachine reactor (event loop), as a flow control mechanism. Result JSON parsing errors are logged.

#store_check_result(client, check) { ... } ⇒ Object

Store check result data. This method stores check result data and the 21 most recent check result statuses for a client/check pair, this history is used for event context and flap detection. The check execution timestamp is also stored, to provide an indication of how recent the data is. Check output is truncated by ‘truncate_check_output()` before it is stored.

Parameters:

  • client (Hash)
  • check (Hash)

Yields:

  • callback/block called after the check data has been

    stored (history, etc).

#transport_publish_options(subscription, message) ⇒ Array

Determine the Sensu Transport publish options for a subscription. If a subscription begins with a Transport pipe type, either “direct:” or “roundrobin:”, the subscription uses a direct Transport pipe. If a subscription does not specify a Transport pipe type, a fanout Transport pipe is used.

Parameters:

  • subscription (String)
  • message (String)

Returns:

  • (Array)

    containing the Transport publish options: the Transport pipe type, pipe, and the message to be published.

end

#truncate_check_output(check) ⇒ Hash

Truncate check output. For metric checks, (‘“type”: “metric”`), check output is truncated to a single line and a maximum of 255 characters. Check output is currently left unmodified for standard checks.

Parameters:

  • check (Hash)

Returns:

  • (Hash)

    check with truncated output.

#update_client_registry(client) {|success| ... } ⇒ Object

Update the Sensu client registry, stored in Redis. Sensu client data is used to provide additional event context and enable agent health monitoring. The client registry supports client signatures, unique string identifiers used for keepalive and result source verification. If a client has a signature, all further registry updates for the client must have the same signature. A client can begin to use a signature if one was not previously configured. JSON serialization is used for the stored client data.

Parameters:

  • client (Hash)

Yields:

  • (success)

    passes success status to optional callback/block.

Yield Parameters:

  • success (TrueClass, FalseClass)

    indicating if the client registry update was a success or the client data was discarded due to client signature mismatch.

#update_event_registry(event) {|process| ... } ⇒ Object

Update the event registry, stored in Redis. This method determines if event data warrants in the creation or update of event data in the registry. If a check ‘:status` is not `0`, or it has been flapping, an event is created/updated in the registry. If the event `:action` is `:resolve`, the event is removed (resolved) from the registry. If the previous conditions are not met and check `:type` is `metric`, the registry is not updated, but further event processing is required (`yield(true)`). JSON serialization is used when storing data in the registry.

Parameters:

  • event (Hash)

Yield Parameters:

  • process (TrueClass, FalseClass)

    indicating if the event requires further processing.

#update_leader_lockObject

Updates the Sensu server leader lock timestamp. The current leader ID is retrieved from Redis and compared with the leader ID of the current process to determine if it is still the Sensu server leader. If the current process is still the leader, the leader lock timestamp is updated. If the current process is no longer the leader (regicide), ‘resign_as_leader()` is called for cleanup, so there is not more than one leader.
