.SH DESCRIPTION 
.PP
The swift-recon cli tool can be used to retrieve various metrics and telemetry information about
a cluster that has been collected by the swift-recon middleware. 

In order to make use of the swift-recon middleware, update the object-server.conf file and 
enable the recon middleware by adding a pipeline entry and setting its option(s). You can view 
more information in the example section below.
