-# miqssh miqscp miqcollect miqgrep and miqtail utilities
-
-These tools allow for running commands and copying files and searching log files against multiple ManageIQ workers in an environment based on groups defined in hosts files.
-
-Also, even if you do have pssh or other tools for running commands on multiple systems, the new miqgrep, miqgrep -r, miqtail, and miqtail -r are worth a look.
-
-Different transport mechanisms are now supported and can be selected by updating the .config file.  By default, Ansible is used since it can work in parallel and is included by default with ManageIQ.  Alternatively, if installed and selected, Parallel SSH can be used and is faster opening connections than Ansible.
-
-**Note that this program can enable you to do things faster, including mistakes, use at your own risk.**

-# Command Descriptions:
-
-miqssh (connect to each host in group and run provided commands)
-
-miqscp (copy file TO each host in group)
-
-miqcollect (copy file FROM each host in group)

-miqgrep (connect to each host in group and grep log_file for pattern or request_id and associated task_ids and collate all results and display using less)

-Installation Instructions
-
-- Recommended place to configure miqssh tools is on the VMDB in the region.
-- Configure your appliances into zones as appropriate for your environment.
-- Create an miqhosts file in this directory.  See miqhosts-sample and miqhosts-gen can help dynamically generate that by querying server names and zones from the VMDB.
-- Generate SSH public/private keys using ssh-keygen, unless they already exist.
-- Push the SSH public keys out to all the servers in the region, miqssh-copy-id can help with this.
-- To be able to use miqtail, the multitail package from EPEL will need to be installed on this system.
