blalor/riemann repository overview

⁠docker-riemann

Riemann⁠ in a Docker container, just like it says on the label.

⁠ports

• 5555/tcp -- tcp-server
• 5555/udp -- udp-server
• 5556/tcp -- ws-server

⁠config and reloading

Riemann config entry point is /etc/riemann/riemann.conf. The basic config is basically worthless.

[incrond](http://inotify.aiken.cz/?section=incron&page=about&lang=en) watches for changes to the main config file and whatever is in /etc/riemann/conf.d and triggers a reload of Riemann. In theory, all you need to focus on is writing your config. Mount your own config at /etc/riemann (ensuring the entry point is the same, at least) and you should be good to go. incrond uses inotify to watch files; I don't know how or if this is going to work with Docker bind mounts. My limited testing was mixed.
