c8y events assert count

Assert event count

Synopsis​

Assert that a device has a specific amount of events and pass the input untouched

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 as case then use the --strict option.

c8y events assert count [flags]

Examples​

$ c8y events 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 event

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

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

Options​

      --dateFrom string       Start date or date and time of event occurrence.
--dateTo string End date or date and time of event occurrence.
--device strings The ManagedObject which is the source of this event. (accepts pipeline)
--duration string Timeout duration. i.e. 30s or 1m (1 minute) (default "30s")
--fragmentType string Fragment name from event.
-h, --help help for count
--interval string Interval to check on the status, i.e. 10s or 1min (default "5s")
--maximum int Maximum event count (inclusive). A value of -1 will disable this check (default -1)
--minimum int Minimum event count (inclusive). A value of -1 will disable this check (default -1)
--retries int Number of retries before giving up per id
