+# Sensu Handler: hipchat
+#
+# This handler script is used to send notifications to Hipchat rooms.
+#
+# Input:
+#   @event - Event attributes.
+#      @event['action'] - Property to figure out the event type i.e. whether it is create or resolve.
+#      @event['check'] - Map of attributes from the check config which is calling this handler
+#      @event['client'] - Map of attributes from the client config for the clients from which this event is generated.
+#   option: json_config - By default, assumes the hipchat config parameters are in the "hipchat" top-level json key.
+#                         This command line option allows to specify a custom json key.
+#
+# Output:
+#    Green coloured notification on the Hipchat room if a resolve event is seen.
+#    Yellow coloured notification used to notify warning if a create event is seen with a status of 1
+#    Red coloured notification used to notify critical if a create event is seen with a status other than 1
+#
+# Note: The handler config is fetched and merged from all json config files. The "hipchat" json key is used by default which can
+#       be overridden with the "json_config" command line option. The hipchat room could also be configured on a per client basis
+#       by defining the "hipchat_room" attribute in the client config file. This will override the default hipchat room where the
+#       alerts are being routed to for that particular client.
