📦 version 2.56.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the c8y(1) manual page — this one is all about c8y-inventory-get, and it’s literally here to help you get managed objects. 💅

  • c8y-inventory-get — Get managed objects

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

c8y inventory get [flags]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Get an existing managed object. That’s the vibe: you’re fetching one managed object that already exists, and the flags below let you decide exactly how much extra stuff comes back with it. 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h, --help[=false] — help for get.
  • --id=[] — ManagedObject id (required) (accepts pipeline).
  • --skipChildrenNames[=false] — don’t include the child devices names in the response. This can improve the API response because the names don’t need to be retrieved.
  • --withChildren[=false] — determines if children with ID and name should be returned when fetching the managed object. Set it to false to improve query performance.
  • --withChildrenCount[=false] — when set to true, the returned result will contain the total number of children in the respective objects (childAdditions, childAssets and childDevices).
  • --withGroups[=false] — when set to true it returns additional information about the groups to which the searched managed object belongs. This results in setting the assetParents property with additional information about the groups.
  • --withLatestValues=false — ⟨FEATURE_PREVIEW⟩ include c8y_LatestMeasurements fragment, which contains the latest measurement values reported by the device to the platform.
  • --withParents[=false] — include a flat list of all parents and grandparents of the given object.
