The simplest way to get the {{< param cfy_cli_name >}} utility is through the {{< param product_name >}} docker image. See [this guide]({{< relref "trial_getting_started/set_trial_manager/getting-started-with-cloudify-docker-and-cli" >}}) to learn more on this option.
To install the {{< param cfy_cli_name >}} utility directly on your Linux, Windows or Mac environment refer to the [CLI installation guide] ({{< relref "cloudify_manager/cloudify_cli" >}}).
These options are supported by all {{< param cfy_cli_name >}} Commands. They can be passed as
either an argument to the command itself, eg. cfy blueprints list -v, or as
an argument to cfy itself, eg. cfy -v blueprints list, which has the same
effect as the previous call.
-q, --quiet- Show only critical logs--format [plain|json]- Choose the output format-v, --verbose- Show verbose output. You can supply this up to three times (i.e. -vvv)--json- Force JSON output--manager TEXT- Connect to a specific manager by IP or host-t, --tenant-name TEXT- The name of the tenant of the deployment. If not specified, the current tenant will be used-o, --pagination-offset INTEGER- The number of resources to skip; e.g.--pagination-offset=1skips the first resource-s, --pagination-size INTEGER- The max number of results to retrieve per page
The -v/--verbose flag is available for all commands. It sets the command verbosity level. There are five verbosity levels:
- Running a command with the
--quietflag limits the log output to critical logs only. - Running a command without the verbose flag. (The default).
- Running a command with
-vprints tracebacks where relevant, in addition to the normal output. - Running a command with
-vvin addition to the tracebacks, displays theDEBUGlog statements of local/remote execution events. - Running a command with
-vvvin addition to the tracebacks and debug log statements, sets all loggers declared in theconfig <https://github.com/cloudify-cosmo/cloudify-cli/blob/3.4/cloudify_cli/resources/config.yaml>_ file to debug mode.
