This is a riemann client written in Erlang. It supports sending events, states, and remotely running queries.
We no longer actively maintain this client.
This project is still young. While we are using it internally at Aircloak and fixing issues as we find them, you might very well consider it non-production ready, or alpha quality, if you prefer.
The project is likely to undergo some rapid change.
The API is all under the riemann module.
% Shortcut method for sending a service metric:
riemann:send("meaning of life", 42).
% If you want to craft a fully custom event,
% use the event method:
Opts = [
{service, "hyperfluxor"},
{state, "ok"},
{metric, 42},
{tags, ["server-8202", "datacentre-12"]}
],
Event = riemann:event(Opts),
riemann:send(Event).
% Or alternatively the shortform
riemann:send_event(Opts).
% send also accepts lists of events, if you want to
% send multiple events in batch.
% States are very similar to events
Opts = [
{service, "pizza oven"},
{state, "critical"}
],
State = riemann:state(Opts),
riemann:send(State).
Include the riemann application in your rebar.config file.
Then in your *.app file, add riemann as a dependent application:
{application, ...,
[
{description, "..."},
{vsn, "1"},
{registered, []},
{applications, [
kernel,
stdlib,
riemann
]},
{mod, { ..., []}},
{env, []}
]}.
Riemann will default to sending the metrics to localhost on port 5555. You can set the remote riemann host in your config:
[
...
{riemann, [
{host, "riemann.host.com"},
{port, 5555}
]}
].
