How to send riemann metrics to other Riemann host?

[abhishekamralkar]

Guys I am trying to send satellite Riemann metrics to my Riemann server, but it's not working, every time I start satellite master it start Riemann server also

"riemann-tcp-server-options": { "host": "monitor-000-staging.abhishekamralkar.com" },

I am making changes in satellite-settings.json file on Satellite Master servers.

Hi @abhishekamralkar, one of the main purposes of satellite-master is to act as a receptor for all of the Riemann events that are sent by the satellite-slaves - so can't be started without its own Riemann service. "riemann-tcp-server-options" controls the network interface that Satellite's Riemann server will listen on; it doesn't change where any messages get sent.

If you want to send messages from the satellite-slaves to a separate Riemann server (not the one for Satellite-master), you can probably just add your own Riemann server to the "satellites" array in the .json configuration on each slave - so each slave will send the messages to your riemann server in addition to satellite-master.

Is this what you were trying to accomplish?

If you want to make a change in satellite-master to forward ALL satellite events received by satellite-master (including local events related to mesos-master in addition to events sent by the satellite-slaves), you could just edit the riemann configuration for satellite-master to forward events to a separate riemann server, like this:

Thanks @mforsyth I am able to get my Mesos Cluster metrics to Riemann server.
