+My Watch
+========
+
+HTTP server for viewing MySQL queries on multiple servers. Designed to work
+behind [Sproxy](https://github.com/zalora/sproxy).
+
+
+Requirements
+============
+
+MyWatch is written in Haskell with [GHC](http://www.haskell.org/ghc/).
+All required Haskell libraries are listed in [mywatch.cabal](mywatch.cabal).
+Use [cabal-install](http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Cabal-Install)
+to fetch and build all pre-requisites automatically.
+
+
+Installation
+============
+
+ $ git clone https://github.com/zalora/mywatch.git
+ $ cd mywatch
+ $ cabal install
+
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+Type `mywatch --help` to see usage summary:
+
+ Usage:
+ mywatch [options] MYCNF
+
+ Options:
+
+ -d, --datadir=DIR Data directory including static files [default: {cabal data dir}]
+
+ -s, --socket=SOCK Listen on this UNIX-socket [default: /tmp/mywatch.sock]
+ -p, --port=PORT Instead of UNIX-socket, listen on this TCP port (localhost)
+
+ -h, --help Show this message
+
+
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+The `MYCNF` argument denotes a MySQL client config file. Each section in this
+file describes a MySQL server where you can view processes. As usually, the
+"client" section applies internally to all other sections, but is ignored by
+MyWatch. Remember to make this file secret if it includes passwords, or use the
+`!include` directive. However, MyWatch does not parse included files for
+more sections.
+
+```
+[foo]
+host = example.com
+user = user1
+...
+
+[bar]
+host = example.net
+user = user2
+...
+
+!include /run/keys/my.secret.cnf
+```
+
+
+Database Privileges
+===================
+
+MyWatch needs the `PROCESS` privilege.
