Description

Hi,

Is it possible to add riemann metrics to go-kit please ? I believe many companies are using Riemann to aggregate metrics and alert based on "change" to those metrics.

I can try add this myself, but I do not have much experience with go-lang (yet).

Thanks Alex

Research direction
Look at existing metrics backends in go kit (e.g., statsd, prometheus) to understand the interface. Study Riemann's protocol and existing Go client libraries. The issue has no maintainer response, so consider reaching out on the issue for clarification on desired implementation details.
