riemann-ping

riemann-ping is a tool for running pings against specified urls and sending that data through Riemann. It performs http gets against the specified url and then sends the number of milliseconds that the request took to complete to riemann. It makes heavy use of built in functionality in Riemann and therefore leaves it up to Riemann what threshold should be considered warning or critical thresholds. It also makes use of expired events for handling the case where a url is not available.
