SYNOPSIS
couchbase-cli analytics-link-setup [--cluster <cluster>] [--username <username>] [--password <password>] [--create] [--delete] [--edit] [--list] [--dataverse <name>] [--name <name>] [--type <type>] [--hostname <hostname>] [--link-username <username>] [--link-password <password>] [--user-certificate <path>] [--user-key <path>] [--certificate <path>] [--encryption <type>] [--access-key-id <id>] [--secret-access-key <key>] [--region <region>] [--service-endpoint <url>]
DESCRIPTION
This command is used to manage links used by the external dataset and remote cluster capabilities of the Analytics Service.
OPTIONS
Common Link Options
- -c
- --cluster
-
Specifies the hostname of a node in the cluster. See the HOST FORMATS section for more information on specifying a hostname.
- -u
- --username <username>
-
Specifies the username of the user executing the command. If you do not have a user account with permission to execute the command then it will fail with an unauthorized error.
- -p
- --password <password>
-
Specifies the password of the user executing the command. If you do not have a user account with permission to execute the command then it will fail with an unauthorized error. If this argument is specified, but no password is given then the command will prompt the user for a password through non-echoed stdin. You may also specify your password by using the environment variable CB_REST_PASSWORD.
- --create
-
Creates a new link.
- --delete
-
Deletes a link.
- --edit
-
Edits a link.
- --list
-
List defined links.
- --name <name>
-
The name for the link.
- --type <type>
-
The type of the link, either 'couchbase' or 's3'.
Couchbase Link Options
Following are the options specific to --type couchbase, i.e. Couchbase links
- --hostname <hostname>
-
The hostname of the link.
- --encryption <type>
-
Specifies the type of encryption to use. This flag may either be set to either "half", "full", or "none". Half encryption means that passwords are encrypted, but data is not. This results in faster data transfer, but less security. Full encryption means that all data and passwords are encrypted which increases security, but reduces overall data transfer speed. If no encryption is needed then "none" can be specified.
- --link-username <username>
-
The username of the link.
- --link-password <password>
-
The password of the link.
- --user-certificate <path>
-
The local path to the file containing the user certificate for authentication. This and --user-key are used in place of --link-username and --link-password when utilizing certificate-based authentication. Certificate-based auth requires --encryption full.
- --user-key <path>
-
The local path to the file containing the user key for authentication. This and --user-certificate are used in place of --link-username and --link-password when utilizing certificate-based authentication. Certificate-based auth requires --encryption full.
- --certificate <path>
-
The local path to the file containing the certificate used for encryption. Required with --encryption full.
S3 Link Options
Following are the options specific to --type s3, i.e. S3 links
- --access-key-id <id>
-
The access key ID of the s3 link.
- --secret-access-key <key>
-
The secret access key of the s3 link.
- --region <region>
-
The region of the s3 link.
- --service-endpoint <url>
-
The service endpoint of the link (optional).
HOST FORMATS
When specifying a host for the couchbase-cli command the following formats are expected:
-
couchbase://<addr>
-
<addr>:<port>
-
http://<addr>:<port>
It is recommended to use the couchbase://<addr> format for standard installations. The other two formats allow an option to take a port number which is needed for non-default installations where the admin port has been set up on a port other that 8091.
EXAMPLES
To create a new link to a Couchbase cluster named "east", run the following command:
$ couchbase-cli analytics-link-setup -c 192.168.1.5 -u Administrator \ -p password --create --dataverse Default --name east --type couchbase \ --hostname 192.168.1.6 --link-username Administrator \ --link-password password --encryption none
If the new remote reference should be fully encrypted then make sure to enable encryption:
$ couchbase-cli analytics-link-setup -c 192.168.1.5 -u Administrator \ -p password --create --dataverse Default --name east --type couchbase \ --hostname 192.168.1.6 --link-username Administrator \ --link-password password --encryption full \ --certificate /root/cluster.cert
To create an S3 link named myAwsLink
in the "test" dataverse, run the
following command:
$ couchbase-cli analytics-link-setup -c 192.168.1.5 -u Administrator \ -p password --create --dataverse test --name myAwsLink --type s3 \ --region us-west-2 --access-key-id LOREMIPSUMDOLORSITAMET123 \ --secret-access-key CoNSEcteTuRadipIsciNGelITSEDDoeiUSmODTEMpor456
To list all current links, run the following command:
$ couchbase-cli analytics-link-setup -c 192.168.1.5 -u Administrator \ -p password --list
To list current S3 links, run the following command:
$ couchbase-cli analytics-link-setup -c 192.168.1.5 -u Administrator \ -p password --list --type s3
If you need to edit a link named "east" and change the password, run the following command:
$ couchbase-cli analytics-link-setup -c 192.168.1.5 -u Administrator \ -p password --edit --dataverse Default --name east --type couchbase \ --hostname 192.168.1.6 --link-username Administrator \ --link-password new_password --encryption half
Note in the above example that you need to re-specify all of the current unchanging configuration parameters in addition to changing ones, except --type which cannot change.
If an link is no longer needed it can be deleted. The following example deletes the link named "east" in the "Default" dataverse:
$ couchbase-cli analytics-link-setup -c 192.168.1.5 -u Administrator \ -p password --delete --dataverse Default --link east
ENVIRONMENT AND CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
- CB_REST_USERNAME
-
Specifies the username to use when executing the command. This environment variable allows you to specify a default argument for the -u/--username argument on the command line.
- CB_REST_PASSWORD
-
Specifies the password of the user executing the command. This environment variable allows you to specify a default argument for the -p/--password argument on the command line. It also allows the user to ensure that their password are not cached in their command line history.
