Configuration Management

We highly recommend using configuration management tools to deploy Sensu in production and at scale.

  • Pin versions of Sensu-related software to ensure repeatable Sensu deployments.
  • Scale Sensu horizontally with additional Sensu, RabbitMQ, and Redis servers.
  • Ensure consistent configuration between Sensu Servers.

The following configuration management tools have well-defined Sensu modules to help you get started.
