The tscli command line interface is an administration interface for the ThoughtSpot instance. Use tscli to take snapshots (backups) of data, apply updates, stop and start the services, and view information about the system. This reference defines each subcommand and what you can accomplish with it.

The command returns 0 upon success and a non-zero exit code upon failure. Because the tscli command is typically running a command on multiple codes, an error may be called at different points. As much as possible, the command attempts to save errors to the stderr directory as configured on a node.

How to use the tscli command

The tscli command has the following syntax:

tscli [-h] [--helpfull] [--verbose] [--noautoconfig]
           [--autoconfig] [--yes] [--cluster <cluster>]
           [--zoo <zookeeper>] [--username username] [--identity_file identity_file]
           {alert,backup,backup-policy,callhome,cluster,command,dr-mirror,etl,event,
             feature,fileserver,firewall,hdfs,ldap,logs,map-tiles,monitoring,nas,node,
             os,saml,scheduled-pinboards,smtp,snapshot,snapshot-policy,spot,ssl,storage,
             support}

The tscli command has several subcommands such as alert, backup, and so forth. You issue a subcommand using the following format:

tscli [subcommand ]

Subcommands have their own additional options and actions such as tscli backup create or tscli backup delete for example. To view help for a subcommand:

tscli [subcommand] -h

A subcommand itself may have several options.

tscli subcommands

This section lists each subcommand and its syntax.

    Pull snapshot out as a backup. This takes the following parameters:

    • --mode {full,light,dataless} Mode of backups. (default: full)
    • name Name of snapshot to pull out as a backup. To list all snapshots, run tscli snapshot ls.

    • --storage_type {local,nas} Storage type of output directory. (default: local)
    • --remote Take backup through Orion master. (default: True)

  • tscli snapshot create [-h] name reason ttl

    Creates a new snapshot with the name and reason provided. This command does not accept . (periods), but does accept - (dashes). The ttl parameters is the number of days after which this snapshot will be automatically deleted. A value of -1 disables automatic deletion.

  • tscli snapshot delete [-h] name Deletes the named snapshot.
  • tscli snapshot ls [-h] List available snapshots.

  • tscli snapshot restore [-h] [--allow_release_change] [--only_service_state] name Restore cluster to an existing snapshot. This takes the following parameters:

    • --allow_release_change Allow restoration to a snapshot at a different release. (default: False)
    • --only_service_state Restore only service state. (default: False)

  • tscli snapshot update-ttl [-h] [--disable DISABLE ] name ttl

    Updates manual snapshot garbage collection policy.

    • name Specifies which snapshot to update.
    • ttl Extends the manual snapshot ttl (time-to-live) value. Use a positive value to increase ttl. Use negative value to decrease it.
    • --disable DISABLE Disable manual snapshot garbage collection. Setting this value to True will override any ttl value. (default: False)

snapshot-policy

tscli snapshot-policy [-h] {disable,enable,show,update}

This subcommand supports the following actions:

  • tscli snapshot-policy disable [-h] Disable snapshot policy.
  • tscli snapshot-policy enable -h Enable specified snapshot policy.
  • tscli snapshot-policy show [-h] Show snapshot policy.

  • tscli snapshot-policy update [-h] [--config CONFIG] Update periodic snapshot config. This takes the following parameter:

    • --config CONFIG Text format of periodic backup policy config (default: None)

ssl

tscli ssl [-h] {add-cert,clear-min-tls-version,off,on,rm-cert,set-min-tls-version,status,tls-status}

status Shows whether of SSL authentication is enabled or disabled for the ThoughtSpot application. tls-status Prints the status of TLS support

This subcommand supports the following actions:

  • tscli ssl add-cert [-h] key certificate Adds an SSL certificate, key pair.
  • tscli ssl clear-min-tls-version [-h] Clears any customizations for the minimum TLS version to support.

  • tscli ssl off

    Disables SSL. Disabling SSL will stop users from seeing a security warning when accessing ThoughtSpot from a browser if there is no SSL certificate installed.

  • tscli ssl on [-h] If SSL is enabled and there is no certificate, users will see a security warning when accessing ThoughtSpot from a browser.
  • tscli ssl rm-cert Removes the existing SSL certificate, if any.
  • tscli ssl set-min-tls-version [-h] {1.0,1.1,1.2} Sets the minimum supported TLS version. Sets the minimum SSL version to be supported by the ThoughtSpot application. Please ensure that client browsers are enabled for this version or newer.
  • tscli ssl status Shows whether SSL authentication is enabled or disabled.
  • tscli ssl tls-status [-h] Prints the status of TLS support.

storage

tscli storage [-h] {gc}

This subcommand supports the following actions:

tscli storage gc [-h] [--log_age LOG_AGE ] [--force] [--localhost_only]

Garbage collect unused storage. Before issuing this command, you must stop the cluster using tscli cluster stop. After garbage collection has completed, you can restart the cluster with tscli cluster start. The command frees space in these directories:

  • /tmp
  • /usr/local/scaligent/logs/
  • /export/logs/orion
  • /export/logs/oreo
  • /export/logs/hadoop
  • /export/logs/zookeeper
  • cores

Accepts these optional flags:

  • --log_age LOG_AGE

    Delete logs older than these many hours. Use a non-zero value ideally. A zero value will cause all temporary files to be deleted, including say those which are just temporarily closed while they are being passed from one component to the next. (default: 4)

  • --force Forces deletion of all logs and temporary files regardless of age. This must only be run on a stopped cluster. (default: False)

  • --localhost_only If used, only the logs on the localhost will be removed. If not specified, the command acts on the entire cluster.

{restart-remote,rm-admin-email,rm-admin-phone,set-admin-email,set-admin-phone,set-remote,show-admin-email,show-admin-phone,show-remote,start-remote,stop-remote}

This subcommand supports the following actions:

  • tscli support restart-remote Restarts remote support.
  • tscli support rm-admin-email Removes the email address for contacting the customer administrator. Replaces it with the default ThoughtSpot Support email address.
