Collects OS metrics and reports measurement to Riemann server.

At this point no package or installer is provided. Simply clone git repository or download package of master branch and unpack. Install dependencies using pip

pip install -r requirements.txt

and run with parameters

python start.py -h $RIEMANN_HOST

This command starts the reporter and keeps sending metrics until stopped.

There are several execution parameters that can be provided to the start script:

-h riemann host (127.0.0.1 default)
-p riemann port (5555 default)
-i measurement and reporting period in SECONDS (1 default)
-d debug flag (logs at DEBUG level)

Basic reconnection mechanism is implemented keeping reporter up and running even if riemann server is down. When connection can be established again it will reconnect. All measurements collected in the meantime is discarded.
