OUTPUTSTREAMER(1)

💖 OUTPUTSTREAMER(1) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're learning outputstreamer — yes that's the whole name, the page literally calls it outputstreamer, she said "my name is my name" and honestly? iconic. 👑

---

✨ NAME ✨

outputstreamer — it's outputstreamer. that's it. that's the name. no notes. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

outputstreamer

yes she just runs. no arguments in the synopsis, no little extras, just vibes and a binary. 🦋

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so here's the thing: everything this girl does, she does through options. there are so many options. like, a whole group chat's worth. let's go flag by flag, no skipping, no summarising, we're doing this properly because we're thorough and we ate. 💖

the flags, one by one, in order, no cap 🫶

• --help — Shows you the usage and then dips. that's the whole thing. ✨
• --version — Prints the version info and exits. [optional] 🌈
• --resource-name — the LogStream write resource name. if you don't hand one over, she just... makes one, by calling CreateLogStream(). queen behaviour. [optional] 👑
• --resource-parent — the parent resource name, which gets handed to CreateLogStream(). [optional, default = ""] 🌸
• --file — the file you want to stream. if you don't say anything, she reads from stdin instead. [optional] 🍓
• --follow — reads the file and keeps streaming changes until she's signaled to exit. only works with --file, so don't try to follow nothing. [optional] 🔥
• --log-level — the log level. your options are debug, error, info, trace, warning. [optional, default = "error"] 💜
• --verbose — sets the log level to 'debug' for you, so you don't have to spell it out. [optional] ✨
• --remote — the URL for all services. like, all of them. [optional] 🌐
• --instance — the instance for all services. again: all of them. [optional] 🧚
• --server-cert — the server TLS certificate for all services (PEM-encoded). [optional] 🔐
• --client-key — the client private TLS key for all services (PEM-encoded). [optional] 🔑 (the original page says "far all services" and honestly? typo queen, we love her, moving on 💀)
• --client-cert — the client TLS certificate for all services (PEM-encoded). [optional] 🎀
• --access-token — the authentication token for all services (JWT, OAuth token etc, all of it), and it gets included as an HTTP Authorization bearer token. [optional] 🫶
• --token-reload-interval — the default access token refresh timeout. [optional] ⏰
• --googleapi-auth — uses GoogleAPIAuth for all services. [optional] ⭐
• --credential-helper — the credential helper executable for all services. [optional] 🛠️
• --retry-limit — the retry limit for gRPC errors, for all services. [optional] 🔁
• --retry-delay — the retry delay for gRPC errors, for all services. [optional] ⏳
• --retry-on-code — the gRPC status code(s), as string(s), to retry on, for all services. e.g. 'UNKNOWN', 'INTERNAL'. [optional] 🌈
• --request-timeout — the timeout for gRPC requests, for all services. set it to 0 to disable the timeout entirely. [optional] ⌛
• --min-throughput — the minimum throughput for gRPC requests, for all services, in bytes per seconds. the value may be suffixed with K, M, G or T. [optional] 🚀
• --keepalive-time — the gRPC keepalive pings period for all services. set it to 0 to disable keepalive pings. [optional] 💓
• --load-balancing-policy — the gRPC load balancing policy for all services. valid options are 'round_robin' and 'grpclb'. [optional] ⚖️
• --logstream-server — [Deprecated] use --remote instead. [optional] 🚫

⚠️ ok important bestie: --logstream-server is deprecated. she still exists, she still takes the flag, but the glow-up is --remote. use the new one, we're not doing outdated energy in this household. 💅

and that's the whole page, start to finish, every single flag accounted for. no skips, no summarising, we ate and left no crumbs. 🍽️✨
