Sensu AWS plugin to get ec2-metrics which are under a load balancer

Question

I have been trying to write a aws sensu plugin which will get the instance id's of all the healthy instances which are under a load balancer and then get the stats for each of the instances like CPU Utilization Network In and Network Out etc and using graphite and graphane generate graphs.

I was searching the open source plugins in the sensu community, I could not find any. Is it possible write the script or plugin for this. Or anyone has done it before??

Kindly help me out

Answer 1

I don't believe a Sensu-specific plugin exists for this. However, since Sensu can run any Nagios plugin, you could use one of those: This one looks like it would get basic information on how many hosts are healthy. You could also write your own plugin using your language of choice (check out the available SDKs) to get more detailed metrics for each of the instances.

I wrote a plugin to do the same. It use to work fine then. I have testing on newer version of API. Let me know if you face any problem. I will help to fix the same.
