Build the simple application to get the relay counts and make a simple string report. My suggestion is to have the server be a fixed IP address and have it "listening" for a TCP/IP connection. Then your console applications just attempt to connect, send the data, and close the connection. The server can do whatever it wants with the data from there. But as soon as that connection is closed, it is waiting for another one. You can allow the consoles to retry to the connection for those situations where multiple consoles are trying to connect to the server.
