Configuration is 5 provided using Clojure. When Heapster is configured with a Riemann sink, it 6 will stream Riemann-format events to a separate Riemann instance. 7 8 The following sink options are supported as URL parameters: 9 host: default "riemann-heapster:5555" 10 The host-port connection string for the Riemann instance. 11 ttl: default 60.0 12 The default TTL (in seconds) assigned to Riemann events 13 state: default nil 14 The default state (string) assigned to Riemann events 15 tags: default [] 16 An array of strings that should be associated with each Riemann event 17 storeEvents: default true 18 Whether Kubernetes events should be forwarded to Riemann 19 20 See the [sample config](../riemann/riemann-pagerduty-sample.config) for configuration pointers.
