Deprecation Warnings due to using right_aws which uses right_http_connection and has not been maintained.

Just testing these plugins and getting some deprecations warnings which is messing up the alerts in sensu:

eg

/opt/sensu/embedded/bin/ruby ./check-elb-health.rb -a <accessid> -k <accesskey> -r ap-southeast-2 -n sensu-ELB -v

Digest::Digest is deprecated; use Digest
Digest::Digest is deprecated; use Digest
/opt/sensu/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/right_http_connection-1.5.0/lib/base/net_fix.rb:51:in `rbuf_fill': Object#timeout is deprecated, use Timeout.timeout instead.
/opt/sensu/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/right_http_connection-1.5.0/lib/base/net_fix.rb:51:in `rbuf_fill': Object#timeout is deprecated, use Timeout.timeout instead.

/opt/sensu/embedded/bin/ruby --version ruby 2.3.0p0 (2015-12-25 revision 53290) [x86_64-linux]

are any updated versions for these AWS plugins coming shortly?

@ninjada I see the warning deprecation but it does not break for me, what version of the gem are you using?

Digest::Digest is deprecated; use Digest
Digest::Digest is deprecated; use Digest
ELBHealth OK: All instances on ELB us-west-2::dev-pub-elb-sensu healthy!

We can either look at solving this by using aws sdk and not using right_aws which uses right_http_connection or fix the upstream issue where there is an issue filed (https://github.com/rightscale/right_http_connection/issues/31) for the deprecation warnings.

Given the lack of active development (last commit was Aug 19, 2014 with outstanding pr: https://github.com/rightscale/right_http_connection/pull/32 to fix this) on right_http_connection I would say we should re-write with aws-sdk.
