Avoiding Alert Fatigue: An Intro to and Hands-on Demo of Sensu

Description: No one likes getting paged and up at 2am because of erroneous alerts. This talk will show you how to avoid alert fatigue and create a monitoring event pipeline using the open source tool Sensu.

Here's what we'll cover:
• A brief overview of Sensu and its capabilities
• A short discussion on the primatives you can use to compose your own monitoring event pipeline
• A hands on demo where you'll create your own pipeline using Sensu & Minikube

If you'd like to follow along with the demo, bring your laptop! To cut down on setup, you can install the following before you arrive:
• Kubectl
• Minikube
• Virtualbox
