Command Line Interface Cheatsheet

This is a quick introductory section on the CLI. As you add more slices, you will use these primitives to manage your Datacoral deployment.

<slice-category> refers to one of collect, organize, and harness. However, in this version, we only support collect and organize.

• <slice-type> refers to the type of slice, for example Google Analytics or MySQL.
• <slice-name> Is a user definable name of the instance of the slice you have deployed. For example if you have 3 MySQL slices for the 3 databases you want to connect, you would name the slices accordingly.

List all the available slices

datacoral <slice-category> list-slice-types

Describe slice types

Describe the input and output parameters needed for a given slice-type

datacoral <slice-category> describe --slice-type <slice-type>

There are several arguments relating to the describe command including to see those arguments and their definition type. The other arguments are:

--input-parameters   list input parameters
--output-parameters  list output parameters
--docs               print slice documentation
--help           output usage information

Add a slice

datacoral <slice-category> add --slice-type <slice-type> --slice-name <slice-name> [--parameters-file <params-file>]

Describe a deployed slice

List the input and output parameters for a deployed slice

datacoral describe --slice-name <slice-name>

List installed slices

datacoral <slice-category> list

Update a slice

A. Update only the slice software

datacoral <slice-category> update --slice-name <slice-name>

B. Update only the configuration

datacoral <slice-category> update --slice-name <slice-name> --configuration-only [--parameters-file <params-file>]

C. Update slice software and the configuration

datacoral <slice-category> update --slice-name <slice-name> --parameters-file <params-file>

Remove a slice

datacoral remove --slice-name <slice-name>
