How does this tell you that something is missing if it never reported, or that something is no longer meant to exist?

- mspaulding06 10y agoIt's true, you can't tell if something is missing if it never reported. I guess it depends on your requirements. In a situation where your workloads are ephemeral you may not care as much if all of your services have reported as long as most have. In the case that something should no longer exist you could write that functionality into your Riemann configuration. As an example, I could write a "dead service" stream processor that is used to inform Riemann that a service should no longer exist. When a "dead service" event is injected into the event stream for a particular service, Riemann will note the dead service and ignore future events from it.
