Clever Tools 5.1: instances listing, SSH to a given instance and access logs drains
Clever Tools 5.1.0 is available. It adds a command to list the instances of an application, lets clever ssh target a given instance without any prompt, and creates drains that forward access logs.
List the instances of an application
clever instances lists the running instances of an application, with their creation date, state, number, flavor, ID and deployment ID. Add --all to include instances in any state, including deleted ones. You can also select the instances that existed during a period with --after and --before, or the ones created by a deployment with --deployment-id, whatever their state. It lists up to 100 instances by default, and up to 1,000 with --limit:
clever instances
clever instances --all
clever instances --after 1d --format jsonSSH to a given instance
clever ssh gets an --instance option, which accepts an instance ID, an instance number or any. It skips the interactive selection, so you can now run commands through SSH from a script or a CI job, even when your application runs several instances:
clever ssh --instance 0 --command hostname
clever ssh --instance any --command hostnameDuring a rolling deployment, the instance going away and the one replacing it share the same number: Clever Tools prefers the one that is UP. Build instances are now part of the selection: they show up as build in the output of clever instances, and you can use their ID to connect to them and inspect a running build:
clever ssh --instance INSTANCE_IDAccess logs drains
Every clever drain create subcommand accepts a --kind option. Set it to ACCESSLOG to forward the access logs of an application, instead of its output. LOG remains the default, and clever drain and clever drain get now display the kind of each drain:
clever drain create raw-http https://logs.example.com/clever-cloud --kind ACCESSLOGOther changes
The --after and --before options of clever logs, clever accesslogs and clever instances now accept a plain number of seconds as a duration, and so does --expiration in clever tokens create. Commands managing Kubernetes clusters, Materia KV, Network Groups and operators, such as clever keycloak, now report an ambiguous name like other commands do, with the list of matching resources to pick one by ID. The Docker image now includes git, required since system Git became the default backend in Clever Tools 5.0.
