Notes on Sensu Go Docker Block

The API Key needed to connect to Sensu Go has to be created manually.

Create the API Key

docker exec -it sensu-backend /bin/ash

Configure the sensuctl command using the pre-set username and password:

bash

sensuctl configure -n --url http://127.0.0.1:8080 --username admin --password 'Password123' --namespace default

Generate the API Key:

bash

sensuctl api-key grant admin

The output should look similar to this:

Created: /api/core/v2/apikeys/0a1b2c3d-4e5f-6a7b-8c9d-0e1f2a3b4c5d

The Backend URL is the API port (8080) forwarded to the container, it should be http://localhost:8080

The 0a1b2c3d-4e5f-6a7b-8c9d-0e1f2a3b4c5d in the output above is the API Key to use in configuring the Sensu Go notification channel.
