[rob_]

Sensu was originally built to solve the problem of having to monitor ephemeral nodes[1], now however, it's a a versatile monitoring platform. I would argue that it's much more than just what it was originally designed for.

Regarding RabbitMQ and difficulty in debugging: it's true. You can now use Redis as a transport if you like. I'm sure support for other transports will be added in time, too.
