CLI for sending individual events in to Honeycomb

Installation

If you have a working go environment in your build, the easiest way to install honeyvent is via go get.

go get github.com/slowshipper/honeyvent/

If you're using go 1.17 or greater you should use go install instead, since go get is deprecated.

go install github.com/slowshipper/honeyvent@latest

Usage

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.
