RFC : Riemann-consul : Sends consul services status to riemann

[shanielh]

Currently it's a basic tool thats changes the status of a service registered to consul if all the health checks inside it are not "ok".

I hope that people that use consul and riemann would have some suggestions to add.

The only thing I'd like to ensure here is to make sure that all these services start with the same word, e.g. "consul whatever", "consul foobar", and so on. That way we don't clobber other services by accident. :)

[shanielh]

Oh, they don't. Do you want me to add "consul" as a prefix?

[aphyr]

That'd be great, thanks! Most folks use riemann to monitor multiple things so having prefixes keeps things easy to organize. :-)

Yeah. I do that too, I just use tags to keep it organized. I'll add a configurable prefix that will be "defaulted" to "consul."

[aphyr]

Hey, any chance you could make that change for me? Would love to get this merged. :)

[shanielh]

Did it (pushed w/ force to update in same commit).

Also added node status checking.

Good to go! Thanks @shanielh! :)
