How to use

vigil-reporter can be instantiated as such:

SAMPLE_CONFIG = {
"url": "http://localhost:8080",
"token": "SOME_TOKEN",
"probe_id": "web",
"node_id": "web-node",
"replica_id": "192.168.1.103",
"interval": 10
}
reporter = VigilReporter.from_config(SAMPLE_CONFIG)
reporter.start_reporting()

This module uses the threading.Timer class from the threading module to run reporting in background. This makes the method non-blocking.

NOTE: The threaded execution drifts about +/- 0.05 seconds. But this won't be an issue, as you should set an interval that is greater than 1.0 seconds.
