@bobhlo because remediation is a custom check attribute, i.e. not defined in the Sensu check attributes specification, we will not be adding it as a first-class attribute in the sensu_check provider.

I understand that you are asking that this be implemented in order to better support generating sensu_check resources from checks defined in a data bag items. Instead I suggest that you use Ruby logic to ensure that custom attributes, like remediation, are passed as a hash to the sensu_check resource's additional attribute.

Here's an untested example of what I think the implementation would look like:

data_bag(checks_data_bag).each do |data_bag_item|
  check = data_bag_item(checks_data_bag, data_bag_item)
  custom_attrs = Hash.new
  sensu_check check["id"] do
    check.each do |key, value|
      if respond_to?(key.to_sym)
        send(key.to_sym, value)
      else
        custom_attrs.merge!(key => value)
      end
      additional custom_attrs
    end
  end
end
