About:
RiemannClient is a lightweight C library that provides a robust API for sending events, states, and metrics to the Riemann monitoring system. It handles the complexities of the TCP and UDP protocols, allowing developers to easily integrate monitoring into their C applications. This library is essential for building custom monitoring agents or instrumenting high-performance applications.

Key Features:

Supports both TCP and UDP transports
High-performance with a minimal memory footprint
Simple API for sending events and states
Supports TLS encryption for secure communication

Use Cases:

Building custom monitoring agents for system metrics
Instrumenting C/C++ applications to report internal state
Integrating legacy systems with a modern monitoring stack

Alternatives:

riemann-tools – A Ruby-based suite of CLI tools for Riemann, whereas riemann-client is a C library for building integrations.
python-riemann-client – A Python client library offering similar functionality for Python-based applications.
