+Collected here are some topics that may interest the megatest developer.
+
+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
