Sensu Client status - sensu

Question

I am trying to see why my Sensu Client does not connect to my Sensu Server.
How can I see the status of the client and whether it tried, succeeded, failed in connecting with the server?
I have installed Sensu Server on CentOS using docker. I can connect to it, the RabbiMQ and Uchiwa panel from my host.
I have installed Sensu Client on Windows host.
I have added following configs:
C:\etc\sensu\conf.d\client.json
{
"client": {
"name": "DanWindows",
"address": " 192.168.59.3",
"subscriptions": [ "all" ]
}
}
C:\etc\sensu\config.json
{
"rabbitmq": {
"host": "192.168.59.103",
"port": 5671,
"vhost": "/sensu",
"user": "sensu",
"password": "password",
"ssl": {
"cert_chain_file": "C:/etc/sensu/ssl/cert.pem",
"private_key_file": "C:/etc/sensu/ssl/key.pem"
}
}
}
I have installed and started the Sensu Client service using following command:
sc create sensu-client binPath= C:\Tools\sensu\bin\sensu-client.exe DisplayName= "Sensu Client"
On the Uchiwa panel I do not see any clients.
The "sensu-client.err.log" and "sensu-client.out.log" are empty, while "sensu-client.wrapper.log" contains this:
2015-01-16 13:41:51 - Starting C:\Tools\sensu\embedded\bin\ruby C:\Tools\sensu\embedded\bin\sensu-client -d C:\etc\sensu\conf.d -l C:\Tools\sensu\sensu-client.log
2015-01-16 13:41:51 - Started 3800
How can I see the status of the Windows client and whether it tried, succeeded, failed in connecting with the server?

Answer 1

Question on the docker, is this one you built yourself? I recently built my own as well only using Ubuntu instead of CentOS.
Recent versions of sensu require the following two files in the /etc/sensu/conf.d directory:
/etc/sensu/conf.d/rabbitmq.json
/etc/sensu/conf.d/client.json
The client.json file will have contents similar to this:
{ "client": {
"name": "my-sensu-client",
"address": "192.168.x.x",
"subscriptions": [ "ALL" ] }
}
The only place I have heard of needing a config.json file is on the sensu-server. But I have only recently been looking at sensu so this may be an older sensu requirement.
