Sensu Push is a utility for executing Sensu Go checks on systems that cannot run the Sensu Go Agent. Sensu Push wraps the check command execution, constructs a Sensu Go Entity and Event, and communicates with the Sensu Go Backend API to create the Entity (if missing) and submit the Event for processing. This utility is written in Ruby (1.8+) and only uses stdlib in hopes it can run on the vast majority of systems.
