How to keep a state between two handler's executions? #80

Open r00ta opened 2 years ago

r00ta commented 2 years ago

Hi Sensu team,

I see that the handler execution is stateless, but in some use cases it's useful to keep a state between two executions. Is there any existing solution for this use case?

If not, do you think it's something that might be implemented in the future?

Thank you

I think that generally, the retention of state between handler executions will be quite specific to the handler in question, and I don't see a useful way to support it in the SDK.

As to how it's implemented: I'd expect handlers to have a string config option that specifies a path to a state file, with the handler using its own logic for determining what that state means.
