Riemann vs WireEdit: What are the differences?

Riemann: A network monitoring system. Riemann aggregates events from your servers and applications with a powerful stream processing language. Send an email for every exception in your app. Track the latency distribution of your web app. See the top processes on any host, by memory and CPU; WireEdit: A Full Stack WYSIWYG Editor for Network Packets. WireEdit is a desktop WYSIWYG packet editor. It lets you easily edit captured network packets in a simple point-and-click interface.

Riemann and WireEdit can be categorized as "Network Monitoring" tools.

Some of the features offered by Riemann are:

• See your system at a glance with a Sinatra app
• Throttle or roll up multiple events into a single message
• Forward any event stream to Graphite

On the other hand, WireEdit provides the following key features:

• Edit any packet at any layer from L1 to L7 with just a few mouse clicks. No hacking required. No need to look at Hex dumps.
• WireEdit knows all mandatory/optional elements of a packet, their data types, encoding, inter-dependency, position offsets, value constraints, checksums, etc.
• As you're editing WireEdit takes care of all the behind-the-scene details on the fly. No need to think about any of it.

Riemann is an open source tool with 3.78K GitHub stars and 509 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Riemann's open source repository on GitHub.
