telemetry
~~~~~~~~~

A new feature introduced in v1.6525 allows a centralized debug messaging system.  Debugging client-server issues
is greatly aided by a centralized, time coherent log of events across test execution, server, and runner.  This
is provided by the telemetry feature


source code call example


[source,ini]
 [telemetry]
 host <IP where telemetry daemon will run>
 port <UDP port to listen -- we recommend 5929>
 want-events <comma separated list of telemetry-log keywords

[source,ini]
 [telemetry]
 host 10.38.32.91
 port 5929
 want-events ALL

[source,scheme]
(common:telemetry-log <keyword string>


Usage:
1. Add telemetry section to megatest.config
2. Start telemetry daemon telemetry-daemon -a start -l /tmp/my-telemetry.log
3. Run megatest
4. examine / parse telemetry log
