CLI for sending individual events in to Honeycomb
If you have a working go environment in your build, the easiest way to install honeyvent is via go get.
go get github.com/honeycombio/honeyvent/
Call with a collection of names and values to send an event from the command line:
honeyvent -k <writekey> -d <dataset> -n field -v val -n field -v val ...
If you are targeting a local instance of Honeycomb, use the api_host parameter, e.g: --api_host=http://localhost:8888
The tool will detect floats and ints and send them as numbers; everything else turns in to strings. Quote any values that have spaces.
