Server Watch
============

This is script setup to allow for easy logging of various server level statistics that
is useful when doing system profiling and load testing.

Usage
-----

This is a simple Python script that can be run via

./server-watch.py

This logs the desired values to stdout. Those can be redirected to a file as:

./server-watch.py > /tmp/server-data.log

There are a few command line options to customize the behavior

* -c, --config _config file_

> Specifies which config file to use

* -a, --apache

> Enable apache connection monitoring

* -m, --mysql

> Enable mysql monitoring

* -d, --delimeter _delimeter_

> What string to use as a delimeter for the log file, defaults to a tab

* -s, --seconds _delay_

> How many seconds to delay b/w report rows, defaults to 1 second
