Installing the current version of the Alert Logic CLI

Upgrading to the latest version of the Alert Logic CLI

We regularly introduce support for new Alert Logic services. We recommend that you check installed packages version and upgrade to the latest version regularly.

Configure the Alert Logic CLI with Your Credentials

Before you can run a CLI command, you must configure the Alert Logic's CLI with your credentials.

By default, alcli uses ~/.alertlogic/config configuration file in a user's home directory. File can contain multiple profiles. Here's an example of a configuration file that has credentials for an integration and production deployments:

[default]
access_key_id=1111111111111111
secret_key=eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
global_endpoint=integration

[production]
access_key_id=2222222222222222
secret_key=dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
global_endpoint=production

The location of the configuration file can be also specified by setting ALERTLOGIC_CONFIG environment variable to contain file's location.

Notes:

--query option requires JMESPath language expression. See http://jmespath.org/tutorial.html for language tutorial.
