IoT Central CLI

IoT Central CLI can be used to manage apps and migrate assets between apps. It uses IoT Central public API using APP Tokens.

The source code in this tool can be use modified to meet appropriate needs.

Build

Follow the instructions to install Go. Pick the appropriate package to install the latest 1.15.x release of Go. This will give you access to the Go toolchain and compiler.

• If you installed via the tarball, you will need to add a GOROOT environment variable pointing to the folder where you installed Go (typically /usr/local/go on linux-based systems)
• You should also check to make sure that you can access the Go compiler and tools. They are available at $GOROOT/bin (or $GOROOT\bin) and should be added to your path if they are not already. You can verify this by running the following:
  • Max/Linux: which go
  • Windows (CMD): where go

To build this tool, follow the instructions below:

To build your repo (__YOUR_REPO__):
$ cd __YOUR_REPO__/src
$ make

You can find the executable (iotc for linux or iotc.exe for windows) under YOUR_REPO/bin folder

To do a clean build i.e. remove all compiled binaries and dependencies:

$ cd __YOUR_REPO__/src
$ make clean
$ make

Configuration

This CLI uses a configuration file $HOME/.iotc.yml. The format of the file is as follows:

# iotc configuration file
apps:
    # name that is used in the iotc commands 
  - name: myapp1
    # subdomain of the app. For https://app1.azureiotcentral.com, just enter app1
    subdomain: app1
    # domain of the app. Default is azureiotcentral.com
    domain: azureiotcentral.com
    # apitoken can be obtained from your IoT Central application Administration/API tokens
    apiToken: api1Token
  - name: myapp2
    subdomain: app2
    apiToken: api2Token
  - name: myapp3
    subdomain: app3
    apiToken: api3Token

# Maximum number of rows to retrieve for 'list' commands
maxRows: 25

# Default format of the tables
format: pretty

Usage

Once you add the configuration file mentioned above, you can run the tool using __YOUR_REPO__/bin/iotc command.

D:\dev\iotcgo\bin>iotc
