# Command Line Interface (CLI)


IoTDB provides Cli/shell tools for users to interact with IoTDB server in command lines. This document shows how Cli/shell tool works and the meaning of its parameters.

> Note: In this document, \$IOTDB\_HOME represents the path of the IoTDB installation directory.

## Installation

If you use the source code version of IoTDB, then under the root path of IoTDB, execute:

```shell
> mvn clean package -pl iotdb-client/cli -am -DskipTests -P get-jar-with-dependencies
```

After build, the IoTDB Cli will be in the folder "cli/target/iotdb-cli-{project.version}".

If you download the binary version, then the Cli can be used directly in sbin folder.

## Running 

### Running Cli

After installation, there is a default user in IoTDB: `root`, and the
default password is `root`. Users can use this username to try IoTDB Cli/Shell tool. The cli startup script is the `start-cli` file under the \$IOTDB\_HOME/bin folder. When starting the script, you need to specify the IP and PORT. (Make sure the IoTDB cluster is running properly when you use Cli/Shell tool to connect to it.)

Here is an example where the cluster is started locally and the user has not changed the running port. The default rpc port is
6667 <br>
If you need to connect to the remote DataNode or changes
the rpc port number of the DataNode running, set the specific IP and RPC PORT at -h and -p.<br>
You also can set your own environment variable at the front of the start script ("/sbin/start-cli.sh" for linux and "/sbin/start-cli.bat" for windows)

The Linux and MacOS system startup commands are as follows:

```shell
Shell > bash sbin/start-cli.sh -h 127.0.0.1 -p 6667 -u root -pw root
```

The Windows system startup commands are as follows:

```shell
Shell > sbin\start-cli.bat -h 127.0.0.1 -p 6667 -u root -pw root
```

After operating these commands, the cli can be started successfully. The successful status will be as follows:

```
 _____       _________  ______   ______
|_   _|     |  _   _  ||_   _ `.|_   _ \
  | |   .--.|_/ | | \_|  | | `. \ | |_) |
  | | / .'`\ \  | |      | |  | | |  __'.
 _| |_| \__. | _| |_    _| |_.' /_| |__) |
|_____|'.__.' |_____|  |______.'|_______/  version <version>


Successfully login at 127.0.0.1:6667
IoTDB>
```

Enter ```quit``` or `exit` can exit Cli.

| -c                           | empty                      | No       | If the server enables `rpc_thrift_compression_enable=true`, then cli must use `-c` | -c                  |

Following is a cli command which connects the host with IP
10.129.187.21, rpc port 6667, username "root", password "root", and prints the timestamp in digital form. The maximum number of lines displayed on the IoTDB command line is 10.

The Linux and MacOS system startup commands are as follows:

```shell
Shell > bash sbin/start-cli.sh -h 10.129.187.21 -p 6667 -u root -pw root -disableISO8601 -maxPRC 10
```

The Windows system startup commands are as follows:

```shell
Shell > sbin\start-cli.bat -h 10.129.187.21 -p 6667 -u root -pw root -disableISO8601 -maxPRC 10
```

### Note on using the CLI with OpenID Connect Auth enabled on Server side

Openid connect (oidc) uses keycloack as the authority authentication service of oidc service


#### configuration

The configuration is located in iotdb-common.properties , set the author_provider_class is org.apache.iotdb.commons.auth.authorizer.OpenIdAuthorizer Openid service is enabled, and the default value is org.apache.iotdb.db.auth.authorizer.LocalFileAuthorizer Indicates that the openid service is not enabled.

```
authorizer_provider_class=org.apache.iotdb.commons.auth.authorizer.OpenIdAuthorizer
```

If the openid service is turned on, openid_URL is required,openID_url value is http://ip:port/realms/{realmsName}

```
openID_url=http://127.0.0.1:8080/realms/iotdb/
```

#### keycloack configuration

1、Download the keycloack file (This tutorial is version 21.1.0) and start keycloack in keycloack/bin

```shell
Shell >cd bin
Shell >./kc.sh start-dev
```

2、use url(https://ip:port) login keycloack, the first login needs to create a user

Tip: If the user role is adjusted, you need to regenerate the token and log in to iotdb again to take effect

The above steps provide a way for keycloak to log into iotdb. For more ways, please refer to keycloak configuration

If OIDC is enabled on server side then no username / passwort is needed but a valid Access Token from the OIDC Provider.
So as username you use the token and the password has to be empty, e.g.

```shell
Shell > bash sbin/start-cli.sh -h 10.129.187.21 -p 6667 -u {my-access-token} -pw ""
```

Among them, you need to replace {my access token} (note, including {}) with your token, that is, the value corresponding to access_token. The password is empty and needs to be confirmed again.

![avatar](https://alioss.timecho.com/docs/img/UserGuide/CLI/Command-Line-Interface/iotdbpw.jpeg?raw=true)


How to get the token is dependent on your OpenID Connect setup and not covered here.
In the simplest case you can get this via the command line with the `passwort-grant`.
For example, if you use keycloack as OIDC and you have a realm with a client `iotdb` defined as public you could use
the following `curl` command to fetch a token (replace all `{}` with appropriate values).

```shell
curl -X POST "https://{your-keycloack-server}/realms/{your-realm}/protocol/openid-connect/token" \                                                                                                                      
 -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
 -d "username={username}" \
 -d "password={password}" \
 -d 'grant_type=password' \
 -d "client_id=iotdb-client"
```

The response looks something like

```json

```

The interesting part here is the access token with the key `access_token`.
This has to be passed as username (with parameter `-u`) and empty password to the CLI.

### Batch Operation of Cli

-e parameter is designed for the Cli/shell tool in the situation where you would like to manipulate IoTDB in batches through scripts. By using the -e parameter, you can operate IoTDB without entering the cli's input mode.

In order to avoid confusion between statements and other parameters, the current version only supports the -e parameter as the last parameter.

The usage of -e parameter for Cli/shell is as follows:

The Linux and MacOS system commands:

```shell
Shell > bash sbin/start-cli.sh -h {host} -p {rpcPort} -u {user} -pw {password} -e {sql for iotdb}
```

The Windows system commands:

```shell
Shell > sbin\start-cli.bat -h {host} -p {rpcPort} -u {user} -pw {password} -e {sql for iotdb}
```

In the Windows environment, the SQL statement of the -e parameter needs to use ` `` ` to replace `" "`

In order to better explain the use of -e parameter, take following as an example(On linux system).

Suppose you want to create a database root.demo to a newly launched IoTDB, create a timeseries root.demo.s1 and insert three data points into it. With -e parameter, you could write a shell like this:

```shell
# !/bin/bash

host=127.0.0.1
rpcPort=6667
user=root
pass=root

bash ./sbin/start-cli.sh -h ${host} -p ${rpcPort} -u ${user} -pw ${pass} -e "create database root.demo"
bash ./sbin/start-cli.sh -h ${host} -p ${rpcPort} -u ${user} -pw ${pass} -e "create timeseries root.demo.s1 WITH DATATYPE=INT32, ENCODING=RLE"
bash ./sbin/start-cli.sh -h ${host} -p ${rpcPort} -u ${user} -pw ${pass} -e "insert into root.demo(timestamp,s1) values(1,10)"
bash ./sbin/start-cli.sh -h ${host} -p ${rpcPort} -u ${user} -pw ${pass} -e "insert into root.demo(timestamp,s1) values(2,11)"
bash ./sbin/start-cli.sh -h ${host} -p ${rpcPort} -u ${user} -pw ${pass} -e "insert into root.demo(timestamp,s1) values(3,12)"
bash ./sbin/start-cli.sh -h ${host} -p ${rpcPort} -u ${user} -pw ${pass} -e "select s1 from root.demo"
```

The results are shown in the figure, which are consistent with the Cli and jdbc operations.

```shell
 Shell > bash ./shell.sh 
+-----------------------------+------------+
|                         Time|root.demo.s1|
+-----------------------------+------------+
|1970-01-01T08:00:00.001+08:00|          10|
|1970-01-01T08:00:00.002+08:00|          11|
|1970-01-01T08:00:00.003+08:00|          12|
+-----------------------------+------------+
Total line number = 3
It costs 0.267s
```

It should be noted that the use of the -e parameter in shell scripts requires attention to the escaping of special characters.
