Installing

You will need to build this module for now and push it on riemann's classpath, for this you will need a working JDK, JRE and leiningen.

First build the project:

lein uberjar

The resulting artifact will be in target/riemann-acknowledgement-standalone-0.1.1.jar. You will need to push that jar on the machine(s) where riemann runs, for instance, in /usr/lib/riemann/riemann-acknowledgement.jar.

If you have installed riemann from a stock package you will only need to tweak /etc/default/riemann and change the line EXTRA_CLASSPATH to read:

EXTRA_CLASSPATH=/usr/lib/riemann/riemann-acknowledgement.jar

You can then use exposed functions, provided you have loaded the plugin in your configuration.

Caveats

acknowledgements are preserved accross configuration reloads, not accross configuration restarts
