Note
This role is part of the sensu.sensu_go collection (version 1.14.0).
You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.
To install it use: ansible-galaxy collection install sensu.sensu_go.
To use it in a playbook, specify: sensu.sensu_go.backend.
Note
The sensu.sensu_go collection will be removed from Ansible 12 due to violations of the Ansible inclusion requirements. The collection has unresolved sanity test failures. Once removed, you can still install the collection manually with ansible-galaxy collection install sensu.sensu_go. See the discussion thread for more information.
