Hey bestie 💖 welcome to the c8y(1) manual page. Today’s main character is c8y-measurements-assert-count, and it’s literally here to check measurement counts without messing up your pipeline. Let’s go ✨

💖 NAME 💖

c8y-measurements-assert-count — Assert measurement count. That’s the whole vibe, no notes.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

c8y measurements assert count [flags]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so this command asserts that a device has a specific amount of measurements, and then passes the input untouched. It checks the count and does not touch your data. Iconic behavior, honestly 🫶

If the assertion is true, then the input value (stdin or an explicit argument value) will be passed untouched to stdout. This is useful if you want to filter a list of devices by whether by a specific entity count, and use the results in some downstream command (in the pipeline).

By default, a failed assertion will not set the exit code to a non-zero value. If you want a non-zero exit code in such a case, then use the --strict option.

Heads up, bestie: default failed assertion = exit code stays zero. Want it to actually fail with a non-zero exit code? Use --strict. 💅

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --attempts=-1 — Number of attempts before giving up per id (-1 = unlimited).
• --dateFrom="" — Start date or date and time of measurement occurrence.
• --dateTo="" — End date or date and time of measurement occurrence.
• --device=[] — The ManagedObject which is the source of this event. (accepts pipeline)
• --duration="30s" — Timeout duration, i.e. 30s or 1m (1 minute).
• -h, --help[=false] — help for count.
• --interval="5s" — Interval to check on the status, i.e. 10s or 1min.
• --maximum=-1 — Maximum measurement count (inclusive). A value of -1 will disable this check.
• --minimum=-1 — Minimum measurement count (inclusive). A value of -1 will disable this check.
• --strict[=false] — Strict mode, fail if no match is found.
• --type="" — Measurement type.
• --valueFragmentSeries="" — value fragment series.
• --valueFragmentType="" — value fragment type.

🌈 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌈

• --dry[=false] — Dry run. Don't send any data to the server.
• --dryFormat="markdown" — Dry run output format. i.e. json, dump, markdown or curl.

• -k, --insecure[=false] — Allow insecure server connections when using SSL.
• -l, --logMessage="" — Add custom message to the activity log.
• --maxJobs=0 — Maximum number of jobs. 0 = unlimited (use with caution!).
• --noAccept[=false] — Ignore Accept header will remove the Accept header from requests, however PUT and POST requests will only see the effect.

• --outputTemplate="" — jsonnet template to apply to the output.
• -p, --pageSize=5 — Maximum results per page.
• --progress[=false] — Show progress bar. This will also disable any other verbose output.
• --proxy="" — Proxy setting, i.e. http://10.0.0.1:8080.
• -r, --raw[=false] — Show raw response. This mode will force output=json and view=off.
• --retries=3 — Max number of attempts when a failed http call is encountered.

• -P, --sessionPassword="" — Override session password.
• -U, --sessionUsername="" — Override session username. i.e. peter or t1234/peter (with tenant).
• --silentExit[=false] — Silent status codes do not affect the exit code.
• --silentStatusCodes="" — Status codes which will not print out an error message.
• --timeout="600s" — Request timeout duration, i.e. 60s, 2m.
• --totalPages=0 — Total number of pages to get.
• -v, --verbose[=false] — Verbose logging.
• --view="auto" — Use views when displaying data on the terminal. Disable using --view off.

🦋 EXAMPLE 🦋

These examples ate, fr fr:

$ c8y measurements assert count --device 1234 --minimum 1
# => 1234 (if the ID exists)
# => <no response> (if the ID does not exist)
# Assert that a device exists, and has at least 1 measurement

$ c8y measurements assert count --device 1234 --minimum 5 --maximum 10 --dateFrom -1d --strict
# Assert that the device with id=1111 should have between 5 and 10 measurements (inclusive) in the last day
# Return an error if not

$ c8y devices list | c8y measurements assert count --maximum 0 --dateFrom -7d
# Find a list of devices which have not created any measurements in the last 7 days
