#I wanted to do stuff like myserver.plugins.overview.cpu_last_minute this lets me do that.
#Haven't tested the refresh to make sure it works.
#Example
#       @server = ScoutServer.new("MyServer")
#	puts @server.plugins.overview.disk_capacity
#	puts @server.plugins.overview.mem_used
#	puts @server.plugins.overview.cpu_last_five_minutes
