5 Host monitoring
In the last two chapters we installed and configured Riemann and Graphite. We got an introduction to Riemann and how it manages and indexes events. We also saw how to integrate Riemann servers in multiple environments. Finally, we saw how to send events from Riemann to Graphite and then graph them in Grafana.
In this chapter we’re going to add another building block to our monitoring framework by collecting host-based data and sending it to Riemann. Host-based monitoring provides the basic information about our hosts and their performance. We can then collect and combine this data with the application data that we’ll learn to collect in Chapter 9.
