riemann: Monitor your data with Riemann
The riemann()
driver sends your data (for example, metrics or events) to a Riemann monitoring system.
For the list of available parameters, see riemann() destination options.
Declaration:
riemann(
server("<riemann-server-address>")
port("<riemann-server-port>")
metric("<the-metric-or-data-to-send-to-riemann>")
);
Example: Using the riemann() driver
The following destination sends the value of the SEQNUM macro (the number of messages sent to this destination) as a metric to the Riemann server.
@version: 4.9.0
source s_network {
network(port(12345));
};
destination d_riemann {
riemann(
server("localhost")
port(5555)
ttl("300.5")
metric(int("$SEQNUM"))
description("syslog-ng riemann test")
state("ok")
attributes(x-ultimate-answer("$(+ $PID 42)")
key("MESSAGE", rekey(add-prefix("x-")) )
)
);
};
log {
source(s_network);
destination(d_riemann);
flags(flow-control);
};
For a detailed use-case on using AxoSyslog with the Riemann monitoring system, see the article A How to Guide on Modern Monitoring and Alerting by Fabien Wernli.
