The Scouter python client is a client-side library that is meant to be used in conjunction with the Scouter server. To use the Scouter client, you need to set the SCOUTER_SERVER_URI environment variable to point to your Scouter server. This can be done in your terminal or in your Python script.

export SCOUTER_SERVER_URI=your_SCOUTER_SERVER_URI

For more information on how to setup the Scouter server, refer to the Server documentation.
