In part 1 of this series, I discussed the rise of microservice architecture and the reliance on Kubernetes and Docker for container orchestration and management. I also shared some of the challenges these new technologies present and what sources of data we need in order to effectively monitor our Kubernetes environments.

As a followup to my previous post, I’d like to walk you through using the Sensu Go sandbox to test upgrading different parts of the event pipeline from Sensu 1.x to Sensu Go. First up we have a Sensu 1.x check configuration using the check_ssh command from Nagios Plugins. This walkthrough can be used as a pattern for converting existing Sensu 1.x check configurations into Sensu Go.
