🎀 c8y(1) — bestie, let's create a bulk operation 🎀

Welcome to the c8y(1) manual page, bestie! This one is all about c8y-bulkoperations-create — the command that creates a whole new bulk operation. It's giving "let's get this group of devices doing the thing together" energy. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

c8y-bulkoperations-create — Create bulk operation

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

c8y bulkoperations create [flags]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Create a new bulk operation.

That's literally it — one job, and it ate. 🔥

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

  • --creationRampSec=0 — Delay between every operation creation. Tiny pauses, one operation at a time, no chaos. ⏳
  • -d, --data=[] — static data to be applied to body. accepts json or shorthand json, i.e. --data 'value1=1,my.nested.value=100'
  • --group=[] — Identifies the target group on which this operation should be performed. (accepts pipeline) 🫶
  • -h, --help[=false] — help for create. Your little "what does this do again?" bestie.
  • --operation="" — Operation prototype to send to each device in the group. One prototype, all the devices. 👑
  • --processingMode="" — Cumulocity processing mode. Yep, that's the vibe.
  • --startDate="" — Time when operations should be created. Defaults to 300s. ⏰
  • --template="" — Body template. The blueprint of the request body, if you're fancy like that.
  • --templateVars=[] — Body template variables. The little slots that go into the template. 🎀

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

Okay bestie, here are the examples. Copy-paste responsibly. 💖

$ c8y bulkoperations create --group 1234 --startDate "60s" --creationRampSec 15 --operation "c8y_Restart={}"

Create bulk operation for a group.

$ c8y devicegroups get --id 12345 | c8y bulkoperations create --startDate "10s" --creationRampSec 15 --operation "c8y_Restart={}"

Create bulk operation for a group (using pipeline). Pipeline girlies stay winning. 🫶
