Tenzir

Platform CLI

The Tenzir Platform CLI allows users to interact with the Tenzir Platform from the command-line to manage their workspaces and nodes.

Installation

Section titled “Installation”

Install the tenzir-platform package from PyPI.

Terminal window
pip install tenzir-platform

Authentication

Section titled “Authentication”

Synopsis

Section titled “Synopsis”
tenzir-platform auth login
tenzir-platform workspace list
tenzir-platform workspace select <workspace_id>

Description

Section titled “Description”

The tenzir-platform auth login command authenticates the current user.

The tenzir-platform workspace list and tenzir-platform workspace select commands show workspaces available to the authenticated user and select one, respectively.

<workspace_id>

Section titled “<workspace_id>”

The unique ID of the workspace, as shown in tenzir-platform workspace list.

Manage Nodes

Section titled “Manage Nodes”

Synopsis

Section titled “Synopsis”
tenzir-platform node list
tenzir-platform node ping <node_id>
tenzir-platform node create [--name <node_name>]
tenzir-platform node delete <node_id>
tenzir-platform node run [--name <node_name>] [--image <container_image>]

Description

Section titled “Description”

The following commands interact with the selected workspace. See Authentication above for how to select a workspace:

  • tenzir-platform node list lists all nodes in the selected workspace, including their ID, name, and connection status.
  • tenzir-platform node ping pings the specified node.
  • tenzir-platform node create registers a new node at the platform so that it can be connected to the platform. Note that this neither starts a new node nor configures one, it just creates a new API key that a node can use to connect to the platform with.
  • tenzir-platform node delete removes a node from the platform. Note that this does not stop the node, it just removes it from the platform.
  • tenzir-platform node run creates and registers an ad-hoc node, and starts it on the local host. Requires Docker Compose to be available. The node is temporary and will be deleted when the run command is stopped.

<node_id>

Section titled “<node_id>”

The unique ID of the node, as shown in tenzir-platform node list.

<node_name>

Section titled “<node_name>”

The name of the node as shown in the app.

<container_image>

Section titled “<container_image>”

The Docker image to use for ad-hoc created node. We recommend using one of the following images:

  • tenzir/tenzir:v4.11.2 to use the specified release.
  • tenzir/tenzir:latest to use the last release.
  • tenzir/tenzir:main to use the currnet development version.

Manage Alerts

Section titled “Manage Alerts”

Synopsis

Section titled “Synopsis”
tenzir-platform alert add <node> <duration> <webhook_url> [<webhook_body>]
tenzir-platform alert delete <alert_id>
tenzir-platform alert list

Description

Section titled “Description”

The following commands allow for setting up alerts for specific nodes. After a node has been disconnected for the configured amount of time, an alert fires by performing a POST request against the configured webhook URL.

<node>

Section titled “<node>”

The node to be monitored. Can be given provided as a node ID or a node name, as long as the name is unambiguous.

<duration>

Section titled “<duration>”

The amount of time to wait between the node disconnect and triggering the alert.

<webhook_url>

Section titled “<webhook_url>”

The platform performs a POST request against this URL when the alert triggers.

<webhook_body>

Section titled “<webhook_body>”

The body to send along with the webhook. Must be valid JSON. The body may contain the string $NODE_NAME, which will be replaced by the name of the node that triggered the alert.

Defaults to {"text": "Node $NODE_NAME disconnected for more than {duration}s"}, where node_id and duration are set dynamically from the CLI parameters.

Example

Section titled “Example”

Given nodes like this:

Terminal window
tenzir-platform node list
🟢 Node-1 (n-w2tjezz3)
🟢 Node-2 (n-kzw21299)
🔴 Node-3 (n-ie2tdgca)

Assume that we want to receive a Slack notification whenever Node-3 is offline for more than 3 minutes. First create a webhook as described in the Slack docs. Next, configure the alert in the Tenzir Platform:

Terminal window
tenzir-platform alert add Node-3 3m \
  "https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXXXX/YYYYY/ZZZZZ" '{"text": "Alert! Look after node $NODE_NAME"}'

Unless Node-3 reconnects, we should see a message appear after 3 minutes in the configured Slack channel.

Manage Workspaces

Section titled “Manage Workspaces”

These CLI commands are only available to local platform administrators. The TENZIR_PLATFORM_OIDC_ADMIN_RULES variable described here is used to define who is an administrator in your platform deployment.

Synopsis

Section titled “Synopsis”
tenzir-platform admin list-global-workspaces
tenzir-platform admin create-workspace <owner_namespace> <owner_id> [--name <workspace_name>]
tenzir-platform admin delete-workspace <workspace_id>

Description

Section titled “Description”

The tenzir-platform workspace admin list-global-workspaces, tenzir-platform admin create-workspace, and tenzir-platform admin delete-workspace commands list, create, or delete workspaces, respectively.

<owner_namespace>

Section titled “<owner_namespace>”

Either user or organization, depending on whether the workspace is associated with a user or an organization.

The selected namespace will determine the default access rules for the workspace:

  • For a user workspace, a single access rule will be created that allows access to the user whose user id matches the given owner_id
  • For an organization workspace, no rules will be created by default and they have to be manually added using the add-auth-rule subcommand described below.

<owner_id>

Section titled “<owner_id>”

The unique ID of the workspace owner:

  • If <owner_namespace> is user, then this matches the user’s sub claim in the OIDC token.
  • If <owner_namespace> is organization, then this is an arbitrary string uniquely identifiying the organization the workspace belongs to.

--name <workspace_name>

Section titled “--name <workspace_name>”

The name of the workspace as shown in the app.

<workspace_id>

Section titled “<workspace_id>”

The unique ID of the workspace, as shown in tenzir-platform workspace list or tenzir-platform admin list-global-workspaces.

Configure Access Rules

Section titled “Configure Access Rules”

These CLI commands are only available to local platform administrators. The TENZIR_PLATFORM_OIDC_ADMIN_RULES variable described here is used to define who is an administrator in your platform deployment.

Synopsis

Section titled “Synopsis”
tenzir-platform admin list-auth-rules <workspace_id>
tenzir-platform admin add-auth-rule [--dry-run]
    email-domain <workspace_id> <connection> <domain>
tenzir-platform admin add-auth-rule [--dry-run]
    organization-membership <workspace_id> <connection> <organization_claim> <organization>
tenzir-platform admin add-auth-rule [--dry-run]
    organization-role <workspace_id> <connection> <roles_claim> <role> <organization_claim> <organization>
tenzir-platform admin add-auth-rule [--dry-run]
    user <workspace_id> <user_id>
  tenzir-platform admin add-auth-rule [--dry-run]
    allow-all <workspace_id>
tenzir-platform admin delete-auth-rule <workspace_id> <auth_rule_index>

Description

Section titled “Description”

Users with admin permissions can additionally use the tenzir-platform admin list-auth-rules, tenzir-platform admin add-auth-rule, and tenzir-platform admin delete-auth-rule commands to list, create, or delete authentication rules for all users, respectively.

Authentication rules allow users to access the workspace with the provided <workspace_id> if the user’s id_token matches the configured rule. Users have access to a workspace if any configured rule allows access. The following rules exist:

  • Email Suffix Rule: tenzir-platform admin add-auth-rule email-domain allows access if the id_token contains a field connection that exactly matches the provided <connection> and a field email that ends with the configured <domain>.

  • Organization Membership: tenzir-platform admin add-auth-rule organization-membership allows access if the id_token contains a field connection that exactly matches the provided <connection> and a field <organization_claim> that exactly matches the provided <organization>.

    Note that the <organization_claim> and <organization> can be freely chosen, so this rule can also be repurposed for generic claims that are not necessarily related to organizations.

  • Organization Role Rule: tenzir-platform admin add-auth-rule organization-role allows access if the id_token contains a field connection that exactly matches the provided <connection>, a field <organization_claim> that exactly matches the provided <organization>, and a field <roles_claim> that must be a list containing a value exactly matching <role>.

    We recommend using organization role rules to check if a user has a specific role with an organization.

  • User Rule: tenzir-platform admin add-auth-rule user allows access if the id_token contains a field sub that exactly matches the provided <user_id>.

  • Allow All Rule: tenzir-platform admin add-auth-rule allow-all allows access to every user. This can be useful to e.g. set up a workspace that is shared by all users of a platform instance.
