Defining checks via hiera

[voxter]

Hello,

In our puppet deployment, we currently manage to pull off all our configuration solely in hiera. I've managed to get everything defined + functioning in hiera using this module, except I'm unable to define checks.

I've tried configuring it like so, but it doesn't appear to be honored:

sensu::check:
    cpucheck:
      command: '/etc/sensu/plugins/check-cpu.rb'
      subscribers: 'cpu'

Any tips would be appreciated, going to dig through the code and see if I can figure it out regardless.

Thx!

What do you mean by not honored? Can we please get:

1. Puppet version.
2. Module version.
3. Some log output showing the issue.

Thanks

The sensu::check is a defined type, so you won't be able to define them in hiera like that. You'll need to use create_resources.

In addition, you may need to specify standalone: false to have the checks run if you're running a centralised sensu server.
