+# RAPL Daemon
+
+This runs a server that is capable of changing the percentage at which
+a node is being throttled to using RAPL. This daemon should be installed
+on all worker nodes.
+
+### Sample payload for testing:
+```
+ curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  --request POST \
+  --data '{"percentage":75}' \
+  http://localhost:9090/powercap
+ ```
+
+### Payload
+
+```json
+{
+    "percentage":75
+}
+```
+
+### Response
+
+The daemon will respond with a json payload containing zones that were
+successfully capped as well as the zones that were not capped.
+
+```json
+{
+    "cappedZones": null,
+    "failedZones": [
+        "intel-rapl:0",
+        "intel-rapl:1"
+    ],
+    "error": "some zones were not able to be powercapped"
+}
+```
+
+Field error will not exist if failed zones is empty.
