Sensu overview

What is Sensu?

Sensu is the future-proof solution for multi-cloud monitoring at scale. The Sensu monitoring event pipeline empowers businesses to automate their monitoring workflows and gain deep visibility into their multi-cloud environments. Founded in 2017, Sensu offers a comprehensive monitoring solution for enterprises, providing complete visibility across every system, every protocol, every time from Kubernetes to bare metal.

Sensu provides users with a single and central platform from which to manage availability and application performance monitoring. Sensu offers a free and open source Sensu Core framework, as well as the commercially supported Sensu Enterprise. The Sensu Enterprise solution includes features like service checks and metrics, Prometheus and Nagios compatibility, alerts and incident management, plus Active Directory and enterprise-grade integrations (ServiceNow, Jira, Splunk). Sensu helps users maintain complete visibility over their entire infrastructure for both public and private cloud. Users can collect container and application metrics and store them anywhere (ElasticSearch, Splunk, etc.).
