Tiny programs to submit events to Riemann.
Riemann-health, for example, submits events about the current CPU, load,
-memory, and disk use. Bench submits randomly distributed metrics for load
-testing. I've got a whole bunch of these internally for monitoring Redis, Riak,
-queues, etc. Most have internal configuration dependencies, so it'll be a while
-before I can extract them for re-use.
