This repo is not maintained, and the code listed isn't really in a reusable state. (see: https://github.com/sensu/sensu-salt/blob/master/sensu/server-config.json)

How about linking to the official salt formula instead?
https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/sensu-formula

It is much more flexible and up to date. Additionally it only manages Sensu and doesn't manipulate rabbitmq/redis/git.

Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Eric Robibaro, I work for AppDirect in the fair city of Montreal.
Earlier this week, I volunteered to write a saltstack formula for sensu 2.0 when it lands.

What does this have to do with anything you ask?

Glad you asked.

Sensu has two saltstack formulas.
Neither of them seem very actively developed, nor include the developer friendly features that the saltstack-formulas organisation usually requires.

http://salt-formulas.readthedocs.io/en/latest/develop/testing-formulas.html especially, would be nice to have.

There was a team discussion that started on slack about what we would need to do, and how best to approach this. I'm opening up this issue to start this dicussion.

• We need to resolve the conflict with two repos having different contexts, and different approaches to configure the same software
• We need to address the lack of testing
• We would do this while preparing for sensu community 2.x becoming GA
• We need to establish the use case of the resulting formula(is the default case a multi-machine setup? I propose that it should be, for instance)
• Do we want to use SPM? How useful are they, in the context of plugins, do we need a spm for each sensu plugin? Would we use a jinja templated approach, possibly using pillars?
• What are sane defaults, in this context? Do we fall back to everything on one machine, or do we exclude it (I've had at least one case in my career where each component having to run on seperate machines made the code much simpler, so let's discuss this)
• Any other concerns about the new salt formula

make sure it only goes to #saltstack and not #plugins

It looks like this is no longer being maintained and people are using: https://github.com/powellchristoph/sensu-formula or more recently https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/sensu-formula we should add a deprecation notice and point to it or invest in cleaning this up. I am more than happy to add the deprecation notice and links but I wanted to check if we wanted to bring that back alive again before starting any changes.

To improve this repo, I would suggest:

• Change the Topic to something like: Your source to use Sensu with SaltStack.
• Hide the wiki (I would write useful information in the README.md so that it is on the first page and can be seen quickly)
• Close issues #2 because it should no longer be needed
