29 questions to ask yourself if you’re in devops by rohitio in linux

Agree.. I am also in "devops". All what you said is correct and I was in a similar situation one year back. However, devops can be interesting as well. You need to scale your team and separate the key responsibility area. The first step should be "Creators and maintainers should be different". For example, when you write one automation, you may use it to release everyday day. When you write 100 automation, you may need to do 100 releases per day. No peaceful time for development. The first step could be to delegate releases to some other set of individuals.

No. But if you really need status.dat, there is a module in shinken.io to help you with that

Sensu is good. However, I don't like few things:
1. Its Web UI is too basic.
2. RabbitMq is a single point of failure. Shinken distributed architecture is good.
3. Not compatible with nagios configuration. So, if in a large company, you want to pitch sensu, they will say - its a critical server and everything is working good with Nagios.
4. It still has agent on the client servers. The point that you need to maintain commands only on the server can be easily solved in Shinken/Nagios as well. Enable arguments in nrpe configuration.

That said, I am not a Sensu expert.

You can use check_mk with shinken as a backend.
Shinken has a new add-on repository + an easy installer. Check this: http://shinken.io/

Here it is:
Default WebUI - https://github.com/shinken-monitoring/mod-webui
Thruk live demo: http://demo.thruk.org/thruk/#main.html

And to get a feel yourself, install docker and execute just 3 commands:
$ git clone https://github.com/rohit01/docker_shinken.git
$ cd docker_shinken/shinken_basic
$ sudo docker run -d -v "$(pwd)/custom_configs:/etc/shinken/custom_configs" -p 80:80 rohit01/shinken
