Interacting with Folders

The following commands provide interaction with Simvue folders.

Listing Folders

To list alerts on the server execute:

By default this will return only the identifiers of the first 20 alerts in descending order of creation time. The command features a number of flags which can be used to expand on this information:

Option Description Default
--format Display format of table, see help string. plain
--enumerate Adds an additional enumeration column to the output. False
--count Set the number of results to return. 20
--path Display the folder path. False
--tags Display folder tags. False
--name Display the name of each run. False
--created Display the created timestamp. False
--description Display the description for each run. False
--sort-by Column to sort by created, started, endtime, modified, name.
Can be called more than once.
['created']
--reverse Reverse the sorting order. False

Example

$ simvue folder list --path --name --count 2 --format fancy_grid

╒════════════════════════╤═══════════════╤════════╕
 id                      path           name   ╞════════════════════════╪═══════════════╪════════╡
 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX   /              root   ╞════════════════════════╪═══════════════╪════════╡
 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX   /simvue_tests  test   ╘════════════════════════╧═══════════════╧════════╛

JSON View

All available information for a folder can be obtained using the json sub-command:

simvue folder json <ALERT-ID>

this will return a JSON dump of the response from the server for the given alert.

Combining Commands

As commands are designed to work together, as an example we can view and query the metadata for the latest Simvue folder using the tool jq by executing:

simvue folder list --count 1 | simvue folder json | jq '.tags'
