The :program:`aodh` shell utility
=========================================
.. program:: aodh
.. highlight:: bash
The :program:`aodh` shell utility interacts with Aodh API
from the command line. It supports the entirety of the Aodh API.
You'll need to provide :program:`aodh` with your OpenStack credentials.
You can do this with the :option:`--os-username`, :option:`--os-password`,
:option:`--os-tenant-id` and :option:`--os-auth-url` options, but it's easier to
just set them as environment variables:
.. envvar:: OS_USERNAME
Your OpenStack username.
.. envvar:: OS_PASSWORD
Your password.
.. envvar:: OS_TENANT_NAME
Project to work on.
.. envvar:: OS_AUTH_URL
The OpenStack auth server URL (keystone).
For example, in Bash you would use::
export OS_USERNAME=user
export OS_PASSWORD=pass
export OS_TENANT_NAME=myproject
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://auth.example.com:5000/v2.0
The command line tool will attempt to reauthenticate using your provided credentials
for every request. You can override this behavior by manually supplying an auth
token using :option:`--aodh-endpoint` and :option:`--os-auth-token`. You can alternatively
set these environment variables::
export AODH_ENDPOINT=http://aodh.example.org:8041
export OS_AUTH_PLUGIN=token
export OS_AUTH_TOKEN=3bcc3d3a03f44e3d8377f9247b0ad155
Also, if the server doesn't support authentication, you can provide
:option:`--os-auth-plugon` aodh-noauth, :option:`--aodh-endpoint`, :option:`--user-id`
and :option:`--project-id`. You can alternatively set these environment variables::
export OS_AUTH_PLUGIN=aodh-noauth
export AODH_ENDPOINT=http://aodh.example.org:8041
export AODH_USER_ID=99aae-4dc2-4fbc-b5b8-9688c470d9cc
export AODH_PROJECT_ID=c8d27445-48af-457c-8e0d-1de7103eae1f
From there, all shell commands take the form::
aodh <command> [arguments...]
Run :program:`aodh help` to get a full list of all possible commands,
and run :program:`aodh help <command>` to get detailed help for that
command.
