The record

Purpose: Sensu Go is a commercial monitoring and observability solution for enterprises, designed to help DevOps and SRE teams automate monitoring workflows and see infrastructure from Kubernetes to bare metal.
Observability pipeline: Sensu collects, filters, and transforms monitoring events and sends them to a database of the customer's choosing.
Monitoring as code: Sensu supports declarative monitoring configuration that teams can edit, review, version, and share.
Health and telemetry: Sensu supports system and service health checks, custom scripts including Nagios-style plugins, basic system metrics, custom application metrics, and log collection.
Alerting: Sensu can send alerts through email, Slack, and SMS, create or resolve incidents in PagerDuty, ServiceNow, and JIRA, and deduplicate alerts.
Discovery: Sensu agents automatically discover and register VMs, public cloud compute instances, containers, and their services.
Remediation: Sensu supports self-healing actions such as restarting services, running custom scripts, and requesting Ansible jobs through Ansible Tower.
Security: Sensu lists LDAP, Active Directory, and OIDC SSO, mTLS certificate authentication, external PKI verification, and CRL support.
Integrations: Sensu names Elasticsearch, Splunk, PagerDuty, ServiceNow, Ansible Tower, Prometheus, and Nagios among its integrations and compatible tools.
Cloud platforms: Sensu says it runs on AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, Red Hat OpenShift, Docker, and OpenStack.
Download platforms: The download page offers Windows agent and CLI packages, macOS CLI and agent packages, and Linux backend, CLI, and agent packages; it states that the backend is unsupported on Windows and macOS.
Scale: Sensu says a single cluster can monitor tens of thousands of nodes and federation provides visibility across globally distributed infrastructure.
Pricing limit: Sensu Go is free up to 100 nodes, and the pricing page describes a free 14-day trial for evaluating Sensu beyond 100 nodes.
Company history: Sensu Go OSS was released in 2017 by Sensu Inc., which was acquired by Sumo Logic in June 2021.
