----------------------------------
Summary: Add Processor for Writing Events to Riemann
Key: NIFI-987
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-987
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Ricky Saltzer
Assignee: Ricky Saltzer
Riemann (http://riemann.io) is a new framework for monitoring distributed
systems. It's particular useful for sending ad-hoc events such as, heartbeats
and metrics. It would be nice if NiFi had a PutRiemann processor for writing
events using the NiFi expression language.
A simple use case would be a data flow that repeatedly checks specific services
over TCP, HTTP, etc and checks into Riemann. Another example would be detecting
a blip in events coming down a stream using a simple event heartbeat mechanism.
I'll post a couple visuals to help make these examples more concrete.
I have an initial PutRiemann processor made. I will post the patch via a Github
pull request later today.
