This month's Topics - Sensu and ZFS

Thom Duran - Sensu

Abstract: Sensu is an open source project that makes a custom monitoring system easy to configure. The Sensu stack consists of RabbitMQ, Redis, and Sensu itself. While Sensu is easy to setup and configure, high availability and scalability is still a concern. We will discuss the archticture that allows for high availability that easily scales as needed.

programs, an overview of hardware considerations for system builders, and a
brief look at the internal structure.
