==============================================
:program:`watcher` Command-Line Interface (CLI)
==============================================
.. program:: watcher
.. highlight:: bash
SYNOPSIS
========
:program:`watcher` [options] <command> [command-options]
:program:`watcher help`
:program:`watcher help` <command>
DESCRIPTION
===========
The :program:`watcher` command-line interface (CLI) interacts with the
OpenStack TODEFINE Service (Watcher).
In order to use the CLI, you must provide your OpenStack username, password,
project (historically called tenant), and auth endpoint. You can use
configuration options :option:`--os-username`, :option:`--os-password`,
:option:`--os-tenant-id` (or :option:`--os-tenant-name`),
and :option:`--os-auth-url`, or set the corresponding
environment variables::
export OS_USERNAME=user
export OS_PASSWORD=password
export OS_TENANT_ID=b363706f891f48019483f8bd6503c54b # or OS_TENANT_NAME
export OS_TENANT_NAME=project # or OS_TENANT_ID
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://auth.example.com:5000/v2.0
The command-line tool will attempt to reauthenticate using the provided
credentials for every request. You can override this behavior by manually
supplying an auth token using :option:`--watcher-url` and
:option:`--os-auth-token`, or by setting the corresponding environment variables::
export WATCHER_URL=http://watcher.example.org:9322/
export OS_AUTH_TOKEN=3bcc3d3a03f44e3d8377f9247b0ad155
Since Keystone can return multiple regions in the Service Catalog, you can
specify the one you want with :option:`--os-region-name` or set the following
environment variable. (It defaults to the first in the list returned.)
::
export OS_REGION_NAME=region
Watcher CLI supports bash completion. The command-line tool can automatically
fill partially typed commands. To use this feature, source the below file
(available at
https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/python-watcherclient/tree/tools/watcher.bash_completion)
to your terminal and then bash completion should work::
source watcher.bash_completion
To avoid doing this every time, add this to your ``.bashrc`` or copy the
watcher.bash_completion file to the default bash completion scripts directory
on your linux distribution.
