serf Support

[ahelal]

Hi,

We are using smartstack for over a year and we love it, But we use the getyourguide fork that uses serf. And then we forked that and using our or branch.

I would like to avoid this fork nightmare. Are you open for serf reporter PR ?

Nerve supports custom reporters by automatically requiring modules by name. See https://github.com/airbnb/nerve/blob/master/lib/nerve/reporter.rb for how this works. All you've got to do is make your reporter available for require. We're working on adding the same pluggable interface to Synapse.

Is the fork more substantial than the reporter itself?

Thank you, I will try to move to the plugin model that seems as a better option

@ahelal, let me know if you have any issues with integration. I'm working on the Synapse support right now.

@igor47, do we want to create a howto guide for this?

@jolynch, I am currently on vacation. Will start working on that next week. I will dig in the code and raise issues as I go.
