Hi David, Bob, https://github.com/algernon/riemann-c-client may be of interest to use it directly -- its been dropped into collectd as a library now as well, and is ported to Debian & FreeBSD already, that I know of. The protobuf wire format is https://github.com/algernon/riemann-c-client/blob/master/lib/riemann/proto/riemann.proto if that's helpful. License is LGPL3 and I can't work out what rsyslog mainly comes under. What I've found useful with collectd and riemann was to be able to set specific custom tags per instance (rsyslog server in our case) which makes the sorting in riemann very easy prior to parsing any specific message output. Mainly source & instance type: A+ Dave _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com/professional-services/ What's up with rsyslog?
