Rationale: installing thin/puma needs a working toolchain and various libraries installed. Failing that, "gem install" will abort with an error which doesn't give much hints to people not familiar with ruby. Webrick is much slower, but it's pure ruby and doesn't depend on any other gem. Sinatra will pick up what is available, in this order of preference: thin, puma, mongrel, webrick. |

Riemann-Dash
A javascript, websockets-powered dashboard for Riemann.
Get started
$ gem install riemann-dash
$ riemann-dash
Then open http://localhost:4567 in a browser. Riemann-dash will connect to the local host (relative to your browser) by default, and show you a small manual. Change the IP address in the top right field to point to your Riemann server's websocket port.
Configuring
Riemann-dash takes an optional config file, which you can specify as the first command-line argument. If none is given, it looks for a file in the local directory: config.rb. That file can override any configuration options on the Dash class, and hence, all Sinatra configuration. You'll find a few usage examples in "example/config.rb".
set :port, 6000 # HTTP server on port 6000
set :bind, "1.2.3.4" # Bind to a different interface
config[:ws_config] = 'custom/config.json' # Specify custom workspace config
Putting in production
If you expect more than a couple of simultaneous users, you should consider running Riemann-dash in a proper application server. The easiest way is to install thin or puma. Riemann-dash will automatically use one of them if they are present. You'll need the C/C++ compiler, as well as the ruby and openssl libraries and headers installed.
$ gem install riemann-dash thin
