💅 c8y(1) — the c8y manual, bestie edition ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

c8y-inventory-count — Get managed object count. That's the whole name section, and honestly it ate. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

c8y inventory count [flags]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so this one retrieves the total number of managed objects — think devices, assets, etc. — registered in your tenant. You can also get a subset based on queries, because sometimes you don't want the whole inventory, you want a very specific little slice. It's giving counting, but make it Cumulocity. ✨
