Sensu vs Blueflood: What are the differences?
Developers describe Sensu as "Open source monitoring framework". A monitoring framework that aims to be simple, malleable, and scalable. Essentially, Sensu takes the results of “check” scripts run across many systems, and if certain conditions are met; passes their information to one or more “handlers”. Checks are used, for example, to determine if a service like Apache is up or down. On the other hand, Blueflood is detailed as "A distributed system designed to ingest and process time series data". It is a high throughput, low latency, multi-tenant distributed metric processing system behind Rackspace Metrics, which is currently used in production by the Rackspace Monitoring team and Rackspace Public Cloud team to store metrics generated by their systems.
Sensu and Blueflood belong to "Monitoring Tools" category of the tech stack.
Some of the features offered by Sensu are:
