Release notes

Version 1.13.0 – Bonsai asset definitions can be downloaded on controller or remote nodes

A user can decide to download the Bonsai asset definitions on either the controller node (previous functionality) or remote nodes (new functionality). A use case mandating such a need is when the controller node’s Internet connection is unstable or worse than the connection of the remote nodes.

New features:

  • Add argument remote_on inside bonsai_asset module

Version 1.12.1 – Sensu Go 6.6.0

Added support for sensu 6.5.5 and 6.6.2 on windows.

New features:

  • Add Sensu Go 6.5.5 Windows metadata

  • Add Sensu Go 6.6.2 Windows metadata

Version 1.12.0 – Keeping up with the updates

In this release, community contributed support for the OracleLinux. We added a few tests to catch if things break in the future and this is about it. And while we were at work, we also added support for Sensu Go 6.4.0 and 6.4.1 on Windows.

New features:

  • Add support for OracleLinux.

  • Add Sensu Go 6.4.0 Windows metadata.

  • Add Sensu Go 6.4.1 Windows metadata.

Version 1.11.1 – Sensu Go 6.3.0 is here

For this release, we only updated the list of available Sensu Go agent versions for Windows, and made sure collection works with the latest Sensu Go version.

New features:

  • Update list of available Sensu Go agent packages for Windows installations (added 6.3.0).

Version 1.11.0 – Validate all the things!

If you ever thought to yourself, “Ansible does not yell enough at me,” we have some great news. The Sensu Go Ansible Collection gained role argument specifications, making it possible to validate variable values before executing a role. You are welcome ;)

New features:

  • Add argument specification to the install role.

  • Add argument specification to the backend role.

  • Add argument specification to the agent role.

Version 1.10.0 – Authentication, authentication on the wall, Who has Access to Them All?

New modules allow Sensu Go users to configure authentication within their Ansible playbooks. The users can authenticate via external authentication providers such as Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), Active Directory (AD), or OpenID Connect 1.0 protocol (OIDC).

New features:

  • Add modules for managing Sensu Go authentication providers.

Version 1.9.4 – Opening Windows for real

This is a bugfix release that makes sure Sensu Go Ansible Collection can operate even in the absence of the Windows Ansible Collection (assuming we do not want to manage agents on Windows hosts, that is).

Bug fixes:

  • Make sure we lazy-load Windows-related content.

Version 1.9.3 – Opening Windows

The only change in this release is removal of the ansible.windows dependency. This should allow users that only use certified collections to install and use the collection.

New features:

  • Remove Windows Ansible Collection dependency.

Version 1.9.2 – A fresh batch of updates

For this release, we only updated the list of available Sensu Go agent versions for Windows.

New features:

  • Update list of available Sensu Go agent packages for Windows installations (added 5.21.4, 5.21.5, 6.2.5, and 6.2.6).

Version 1.9.1 – Containerize all the things

There are two main reasons for this release. We made sure the Sensu Go Ansible Collection works with development version of Ansible (upcoming ansible-core 2.11). And we added enough metadata to the collection that ansible-builder can create an execution environment with the Sensu Go Ansible Collection without having to manually specify dependencies.

Bug fixes:

  • Add ansible.windows dependency that we forgot to add when we introducted the Sensu Go agent installation on Windows.

Version 1.9.0 – Multi-cluster visibility with federation

Two new module pairs allow Sensu Go users to configure federation from the comfort of their Ansible playbooks.

New features:

  • Add modules for managing etcd replicatiors, which form the basis of the Sensu Go federation.

  • Add modules for managing Sensu Go clusters.

  • Update list of available Sensu Go agent packages for Windows installations.

Bug fixes:

  • Allow downgrading Sensu Go packages on Linux distributions that use yum or dnf for package management.

Version 1.8.0 – Supporting hashed user passwords

Starting with this release, Sensu Go users can use password hashes directly when manipulating role-based access control resources.

New features:

  • Add support for hashed password in user module.

Bug fixes:

  • Mimic actual responses when user module runs in check mode.

  • Make it possible to use modules on Sensu Go backends with no version number.

Version 1.7.2 – Be kind

The main thing in this release is a small adjustment of our code of conduct that is a bit more generic and less event-focused.

Bug fixes:

  • List version 6.2.1 and 6.2.2 in Windows lookup table.

  • Specify minimal python version for modules.

  • Update code of conduct.

Version 1.7.1 – Slow and steady

There are no major new features in this release, just honest little fixes that should make using Sensu Go Ansible Collection a bit more pleasant.

Bug fixes:

  • List version 6.2.0 and 6.1.3 in Windows lookup table.

  • Add module return value samples.

Version 1.7.0 – Say hello to Amazon Linux and Windows

As the title suggests, we worked hard to bring you two new supported platforms to the Sensu Go Ansible Colletions. And yes, all your existing playbooks still work.All you need to do is run them against the right host and voila ;)

New features:

  • Add support for installing Sensu Go on Amazon Linux.

  • Add support for installing Sensu Go agents on Windows.

Version 1.6.1 – Comparing entities is hard

This is a bugfix release that makes sure agent entity changes are properly detected.

Bug fixes:

  • Make subscriptions comparison insensitive to ordering.

  • Make sure agent entities handle entity:{name} automatic subscriptions.

Version 1.6.0 – Our little secret

This release contains a few new modules that allow you to manage all things related to the Sensu Go secrets: from adding secrets providers to passing secrets to resources that know how to use them.

New features:

  • Add modules for managing Sensu Go secret providers.

  • Add modules for managing Sensu Go secrets.

  • Add support for secrets to pipe handler module.

  • Add support for secrets to check module.

  • Add support for secrets to mutator module.

Version 1.5.0 – Self-signed security

The primary focus of this release is to enable configuration of Sensu Go backends that use certificates that are not considered trusted when using system-provided CA bundle.

New features:

  • Allow modules to supply custom CA bundle for backend certificate validation or skip the validation entirely.

Bug fixes:

  • Expand documentation about the check_hooks parameter in the check module.

  • Explain how the resource name parameter is used and what invariants need to hold in order for the Sensu Go to consider it a valid name.

Version 1.4.2 – Break the fall

There is really only one reason for this release: making sure user management works with Sensu Go 5.21.0 and newer. And while the upstream did break the API, we did not, so all your playbooks should function as nothing happened. We had to add a bcrypt dependency to our collection so make sure it is installed on hosts that will execute the user module.

Bug fixes:

  • Make sure check module is as idempotent as possible.

  • Make user module compatible with Sensu Go >= 5.21.0.

Version 1.4.1 – Maintenance is the name of the game

There are no nothing earth-shattering changes in this release, just honest little bug fixes and compatibility improvements.

NOTE: The sensu.sensu_go.user module currently DOES NOT work on Sensu Go 5.21.0 and later. This is a know issue that will be fixed as soon as the updated user-related backend API endpoints are documented.

Bug fixes:

  • Make sure event module always returns a predicted result.

  • Make user module fully-idempotent. Previous versions did not properly detect the password changes.

  • Use fully-qualified collection names in module documentation.

  • Ensure backend initialization properly reports changed state.

  • Make API key authentication work even for regular users with limited permissions.

  • Update the datastore module to cope with the minor API changes.

Version 1.4.0 – Keeping up with the world

Main changes in this release are related to updates in the Sensu Go’s web API that broke our change detection.

New features:

  • Add support for RHEL and CentOS 8.

Bug fixes:

  • Fix resource metadata comparison on Sensu Go 5.19.0 and newer.

  • Update entity comparator to handle new fields.

Version 1.3.1 – Bug fixing galore

This release makes it possible to use the asset module when replacing the deprecated, single-build assets that were created by means other than Ansible.

Bug fixes:

  • Do not die when encountering a deprecated asset format.

  • Update return value documentation for info modules.

  • Add Sensu Go 5.17.x and 5.18.x to the test suite and remove the unsupported versions (5.14.2 and lower).

  • Update the role metadata with proper platform markers.

  • Remove unsupported Ubuntu versions from the test suite.

Version 1.3.0 – Authenticating with style on Debian

Sensu Go 5.15.0 gained an API key authentication method and the Ansible collection finally caught up. This means that we can now replace user and password authentication parameters with a single api_key value.

And the other big news is the addition of Debian support to the install role.

New features:

  • Add API key authentication support.

  • Add support for Debian installation.

Version 1.2.0 – Building support for builds

This release adds support for specifying builds when installing various Sensu Go components.

New features:

  • Add build variable to the install role that further pins down the package version that gets installed.

Version 1.1.1 – Python 2 is Still a Thing

This is a bugfix release that makes sure the Sensu collection is working when Ansible control node uses Python 2.

New features:

  • Add support for RHEL 7 to the install role (thanks, @danragnar).

Bug fixes:

  • Accept str and unicode instance as a valid string in bonsai_asset action plugin.

Version 1.1 – Hello Sensu Go 5.16

This is the first release that supports installing Sensu Go 5.16.

New features:

  • Support for Sensu Go 5.16 initialization in backend role.

  • Support for external datastore management using datastore and datastore_info modules.

Bug fixes:

  • Reintroduce namespace support to bonsai_asset module (thanks, @jakeo)

Version 1.0 – Rising From The Ashes

This is the initial stable release of the Sensu Go Ansible Collection. It contains roles for installing and configuring Sensu Go backends and agents and a set of modules for managing Sensu Go resources.

Where does the release name comes from? We took an existing Ansible Collection that @flowerysong wrote, gave it a thorough tune-up and added a comprehensive test suite. And now, it is ready to face the world!
