It needs to be confirmed that the Python redis library is functioning properly/as expected on WMF Tools server. This can be done by running up to

if ( change['type'] == 'log' and change['namespace'] == 6 and change['log_type'] == 'upload' ):

from run_watcher() in rcwatcher.py.

What should happen is the console being populated by upload objects in real time. If this does not happen, then redis is still having issues.
