✨ c8y(1) — the c8y-agents-update glow-up ✨

okay so bestie, this is section 1 of the c8y manual, and today's main character is c8y-agents-update — the lil command that literally updates an agent for you. no cap, it's giving "small but mighty". let's get into it 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

c8y-agents-update — Update agent. periodt, that's the whole job 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

c8y agents update [flags]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Update properties of an agent. that's it, that's the vibe — you point it at an agent and it freshens up the properties for you ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

okay here's the whole flag lineup, and I do mean all of them, no skipping 🙈

  • -d, --data=[] — static data to be applied to body. she accepts json or shorthand json, like this iconic lil move: --data 'value1=1,my.nested.value=100' 🔥
  • -h, --help[=false] — help for update. when in doubt, hit this 💜
  • --id=[] — Agent ID. it's required (sorry bestie, mandatory) and it accepts pipeline 👑
  • --newName="" — Agent name, but make it new ✨
  • --processingMode="" — Cumulocity processing mode
  • --template="" — Body template
  • --templateVars=[] — Body template variables
