# Python Sensu Plugin

This is a framework for writing your own [Sensu](https://github.com/sensu/sensu) plugins in Python.
It's not required to write a plugin (most Nagios plugins will work
without modification); it just makes it easier.

## Checks

To implement your own check, subclass SensuPluginCheck, like
this:

from sensu_plugin import SensuPluginCheck

class MyCheck(SensuPluginCheck):
def setup(self):
# Setup is called with self.parser set and is responsible for setting up
# self.options before the run method is called

self.parser.add_argument(
'-w',
'--warning',
required=True,
type=int,
help='Integer warning level to output'
)
self.parser.add_argument(
'-m',
'--message',
default=None,
help='Message to print'
)


def run(self):
# this method is called to perform the actual check

self.check_name('my_awesome_check') # defaults to class name

if self.options.warning == 0:
self.ok(self.options.message)
elif self.options.warning == 1:
self.warning(self.options.message)
elif self.options.warning == 2:
self.critical(self.options.message)
else:
self.unknown(self.options.message)

if __name__ == "__main__":
f = MyCheck()

## Metrics

### JSON

from sensu_plugin import SensuPluginMetricJSON

class FooBarBazMetricJSON(SensuPluginMetricJSON):
def run(self):
self.ok({'foo': 1, 'bar': { 'baz': 'stuff' } })

if __name__ == "__main__":
f = FooBarBazMetricJSON()

### Graphite

from sensu_plugin import SensuPluginMetricGraphite

class FooBarBazMetricGraphite(SensuPluginMetricGraphite):
def run(self):
self.output('a', 1)
self.output('b', 2)
self.ok()

if __name__ == "__main__":
f = FooBarBazMetricGraphite()

### StatsD

from sensu_plugin import SensuPluginMetricStatsd

class FooBarBazMetricStatsd(SensuPluginMetricStatsd):
def run(self):
self.output('a', 1, 'ms')
self.output('b.c.d', 15)
self.ok()

if __name__ == "__main__":
f = FooBarBazMetricStatsd()
