Overview

fixsh starts the fix shell. It is used to interact with fixcore. It allows you to explore the graph, find resources of interest, mark them for cleanup, fix their tagging, aggregate over their metadata to create metrics and format the output for use in a 3rd party script or system.

More information can be found below and in the docs.

Usage

fixsh uses the following commandline arguments:

  --fixcore-uri fixCORE_URI
                        fixcore URI (default: https://localhost:8900)
  --fixcore-section fixCORE_SECTION
                        All queries are interpreted with this section name. If not set, the server default is used.
  --fixcore-graph fixCORE_GRAPH
                        The name of the graph to use by default. If not set, the server default is used.
  --download-directory DOWNLOAD_DIRECTORY
                        If files are received, they are written to this directory.
  --no-color            Output should be rendered plain without any color escape sequences.
  --stdin               Read from STDIN instead of opening a shell
  --verbose, -v         Verbose logging
  --quiet               Only log errors
  --psk PSK             Pre-shared key
  --ca-cert CA_CERT     Path to custom CA certificate file
  --no-verify-certs     Turn off certificate verification

ENV Prefix: fixSHELL_ Every CLI arg can also be specified using ENV variables.

For instance --fixcore-uri http://foobar.tld:8900 would become fixSHELL_fixCORE_URI=http://foobar.tld:8900.

Intermediate

Show all storage volumes that are in use

> search is(volume) and volume_status = in-use

Show all storage volumes in use and format the output as CSV

> search is(volume) and volume_status = in-use | format {kind},{id},{name},{ctime}

Show all storage volumes not in use with a size of more than 10 GB

Advanced

Find volumes in cloud AWS that are in use

search is(volume) and volume_status = in-use and /ancestors.cloud.reported.name = aws

Alternatively instead of filtering for storage volumes of the generic volume kind we can also be more specific

search is(aws_ec2_volume) and volume_status = in-use

Find unused AWS volumes older than 30 days with no I/O in the past 7 days

search is(aws_ec2_volume) and volume_status = available and ctime < -30d and atime < -7d and mtime < -7d
