Coralogix CLI Coralogix CLI

Last Updated: Apr. 15, 2022

Coralogix is on a mission to provide a CLI that will enable you to do all your Coralogix operations without the web interface involved. Currently, we support:

  1. Quota management to help you manage quota across your teams.
  2. SAML management allows the management of SAML SSO configuration by admin users.
  3. Team management allows admins to create teams and invite users.
  4. LiveTail (a live log stream from all your services). You can filter your logs by Coralogix metadata fields such as application name, subsystem name, and severity and also by querying the data itself. Live tail is much like how the stern command in K8s streams logs in real-time. 

Install the Coralogix CLI for MacOS/Linux

Download:

curl -O https://coralogix-public.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/cxctl/latest/cxctl-macOS.gz

Or

curl -O https://coralogix-public.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/cxctl/latest/cxctl-Linux.gz

Unzip

gunzip -N cxctl-*.gz

Make Executable:

chmod +x cxctl

Set Environment Variables:

Required for Live Tail:

export CORALOGIX_API_KEY=YOUR_LOGS_API_KEY

The API key to use can be found under Data Flow / API Keys / Logs Query Key:

Scan Option:

S3 bucket             
--bucket <bucket name>, -b <bucket name>
Time range - Start  --range-start <start time>, -s <start time>
Time range - End  --range-end <end time>, -e <end time>
Application --application <app1,app2>
Subsystem--subsystem <sub1,sub2>
Severity --severity <severity>
Limit the number of logs-c <number>
Query" <Your Query> "

Scan Examples

QueryExplanation
./cxctl scan --bucket coralogix-tutorial -s "2020-08-18T16:30:00Z" -e "2020-08-18T17:00:00Z" -c 5Retrieve the first 5 rows within the time range
./cxctl scan --bucket coralogix-tutorial --range-start 2020-08-18T00:01:01Z --range-end 2020-08-18T00:09:05Z -c 5 "NOT s3_bucket:amir-blog-logs"Retrieves the top 5 results of the query within the time range
./cxctl scan -b coralogix-tutorial -s 2020-08-18T00:01:01Z -e 2020-08-18T16:59:05Z --application-name Prod --subsystem Coralogix --severity infoRetrieve all the logs from Prod application and Coralogix subsystem with info severity within the time range

Histogram:

Prints a time-based log count histogram.

S3 bucket             
--bucket <bucket name>, -b <bucket name>
Time range - Start  --range-start <start time>, -s <start time>
Time range - End  --range-end <end time>, -e <end time>
Application --application <app1,app2>
Subsystem--subsystem <sub1,sub2>
Severity --severity <severity>
Limit the number of logs-c <number>
Query" <Your Query> "

Log Streaming

In order to stream the logs in real-time (as they are being archived) use the following command:

./cxctl livetail --region "region-name" --api-key <api-key> --format pretty --application "app-name" --subsystem "subsystem-name"

A Coralogix API key can be passed to the scanner through the `–api-key` argument or as an environment variable

Streaming supports EU, IN and US regions; specify them as `eu`, `in` and `us` respectively

By default, the logs use the `pretty` format. A `raw` format is also available which prints out the logs as JSON objects

The scanner will tail the logs infinitely by default but can stop after a specified number of log lines using –count

LiveTail Option:

Coralogix Alerts & Rules API Key--api-key <api-key>, -k <api-key>
Application name to filter on--application <app1>,<app2>
Add a custom field to the colored fields when pretty-printing--color-by <field path>
How many lines to read--count <count>, -c <count>
How to render the logs (raw/pretty)--format <format>
Print logs without any colors--monochrome, -m
Coralogix account region (eu/in/us)--region <region>, -r <region>
Subsystem to filter on--subsystem <sub1>,<sub2>
Severity to filter on (case-sensitive - use DEBUG/INFO/etc.)
--severity <severity>
