CLI for Bigeye

Bigeye CLI

Version: 0.3.8

Install

Bigeye CLI is a pip installable package. Run the following:

pip3 install bigeye-cli

Credential

Run the following command to get logged into your Bigeye workspace from the CLI:

bigeye credential

There are two ways to authenticate: basic authentication and browser authentication.

Basic Authentication

If you select basic authentication, the CLI will prompt you to enter your Bigeye username and password. This will create a default credential file at ~/.bigeye/default_cred.json. This credential will be used for all CLI commands calls unless an environment variable is explicitly provided.

base_url: "https://app.bigeye.com",
user: "[e-mail]",
password: "fakepassword1234"

You can create an environment variable for your workspace credential file, this is helpful if you are managing multiple workspaces and need to flip between them. Add the following to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc file:

export BIGEYE_API_CRED_FILE=/some/path/to/bigeye_cred_file.json

Lastly, if you want to specify the credential per command, you can always pass a -b parameter with the file path for the desired credential.

Browser Authentication

Alternatively, you can use browser authentication. Login to your bigeye workspace on a Chrome, Chromium or Firefox browser. Run ‘bigeye credential’ and select browser_auth when prompted in the CLI and follow the instructions. If you use Chrome profiles, make sure to specify the profile email address you’re logged into.

Note: your authentication will only be valid so long as your browser session is active.

Basic Usage
