Description

Manage the checks that should be run on a machine by I(Sensu).

Most options do not have a default and will not be added to the check definition unless specified.

All defaults except I(path), I(state), I(backup) and I(metric) are not managed by this module,

they are simply specified for your convenience.

Inputs

    
ttl:
    description:
    - Time to live in seconds until the check is considered stale

    description:
    - Path to the json file of the check to be added/removed.
    - Will be created if it does not exist (unless I(state=absent)).

    description:
    - Whether the check should be present or not

backup:
    default: 'no'

    - Create a backup file (if yes), including the timestamp information so
    - you can get the original file back if you somehow clobbered it incorrectly.
    type: bool

custom:
    default: {}
    description:
    - A hash/dictionary of custom parameters for mixing to the configuration.

    required: true

publish:
    default: 'yes'
    description:
    - Whether the check should be scheduled at all.
