This is a wide scope. You can always add new clients dynamically to sensu. This depends on you infrastructure. We have puppet which pushes new client information to sensu with the help of a python script. In addition to that sensu has a decent api which supports addition of new clients. You may write script for this or use any configuration management systems like puppet or chef. – Appu Sidhardh May 13 '16 at 06:23

thank you! but I want it to be done without using automation tools like puppet and chef. How can i achieve that using API ? – Vineesha.C May 13 '16 at 08:35

Check post section in this document [sensu api documentation](https://sensuapp.org/docs/latest/api-clients) Please note, So far I have seen its not possible to create events in sensu using their api. – Appu Sidhardh May 13 '16 at 12:27

@vineesha We can make this possible when using rabbit mq, please write a script to fetch hostname and Ip address and update client.json and restart rabbitmq server and sensu-client. In the golden image please hard code the IP address of sensu server in rabbitmq.json. When all this is done please set a cron with @reboot and this should be all. When the server is launched it will automatically add to the sensu server.

If you are planning to use automation tools like for example puppet, all you need to do is to ensure that the sense-client is installed and the client config includes the correct RabbitMQ config. As soon as the client connects to the same RabbitMQ host/cluster it should also pop up in you dashboard e.g. uchiwa. There is no need to explicitly give the sense-server any information directly.
