help Sensu FAQ

Is Sensu still actively maintained?

Sensu continues to exist in two main forms: the open-source Sensu Core (based on Sensu 1.x) and the commercial Sensu Go product from Sensu Inc. Active development has shifted heavily to Sensu Go, which is licensed differently and includes enterprise features.

What metrics does Sensu measure for website performance?

Sensu tracks key performance metrics such as First Contentful Paint, Largest Contentful Paint, and Time to Interactive, which are the same Core Web Vitals measured by Lighthouse and Google PageSpeed Insights. These metrics help developers pinpoint bottlenecks in loading and interactivity.

Is Sensu a monitoring tool or a website performance tool?

Sensu is primarily known as an infrastructure and observability monitoring framework, but the item here refers to a tool focused on website performance measurement. There can be confusion with the separate Sensu Go monitoring product from Sensu Inc.

Does Sensu use Lighthouse under the hood?

Sensu draws on the same Core Web Vitals and Chrome DevTools protocol that Lighthouse uses, providing performance data comparable to Google's auditing suite. The underlying approach is consistent with Lighthouse, even where the presentation differs.
