Overview

Sensu Go Metric Tag Enrichment is a Sensu Go plugin for enriching metric points with Entity metadata (e.g. entity name, labels) and Check metadata (e.g. check name, labels), adding them as Metric Tags. The Sensu Metric Tag Mutator is useful for adding context to generic metrics collected from plugins that generate metrics in formats that don't support tags (e.g. Nagios Perfdata).

Usage

Enrich Sensu Metrics with Event, Entity, and Check labels as metric tags.
