Monitor is a cookbook for monitoring services, using Sensu, a
monitoring framework. The default recipe installs & configures the
Sensu client (monitoring agent), as well as common service check
dependencies. The master recipe installs & configures the Sensu server,
API, dashboard, & their dependencies (eg. RabbitMQ & Redis). The
remaining recipes are intended to put monitoring checks in place in
order to monitor specific services (eg. recipe[monitor::redis]).
