[ SENSU && Rabbit ] : Timer based re-connection

[chiriaev]

Guys, Hi. Would a SENSU client-related feature to re-set/re-connect your Rabbit transport every configurable once in a while, makes sense? One use-case would be to re-balance client connections over a VIP faced Rabbit cluster. It could look like that in a "transport" block:
...
{
"transport": {
"name": "stomp",
"reconnect": "15"
}
}
...
I already facilitated a similar change in NXLOG:
...

<Schedule>
    Every   15 min
    Exec    reconnect();
</Schedule>

...

Opinions?

Perhaps it should use seconds as the unit, to be consistent with the other time attributes?

Hi, Sean. Agreed. Regards, Andrei

Hi, Sean. Is this feature planned? Thanks in advance. Regards, Andrei

@chiriaev hi there! Sorry for the radio silence on this one. We've had a bunch of other balls in the air related to the transport, but we should be able to revisit this soon.
