Conserver
=========

[![Build Status](https://api.cirrus-ci.com/github/bstansell/conserver.svg)](https://cirrus-ci.com/github/bstansell/conserver)

Conserver is an application that allows multiple users to watch a
serial console at the same time. It can log the data, allows users to
take write-access of a console (one at a time), and has a variety of
bells and whistles to accentuate that basic functionality. The idea is
that conserver will log all your serial traffic so you can go back and
review why something crashed, look at changes (if done on the console),
or tie the console logs into a monitoring system (just watch the
logfiles it creates).  With multi-user capabilities you can work on
equipment with others, mentor, train, etc. It also does all that
client-server stuff so that, assuming you have a network connection,
you can interact with any of the equipment from home or wherever.
