Gardener command-line examples
Raw
command-line.md

basic format

gardener url

where url is the top level in the couchdb url space to look.

Examples:

  1. Scan all design docs inside of all databases

    gardener http://localhost:5984

  2. Scan all design docs inside of the test database

    gardener http://localhost:5984/test

  3. Watch only one design doc named awesome in the test database

    gardener http://localhost:5984/test/_design/awesome

  4. Exclude Filter. Scan all databases, except work, quarantine, and the design doc feeble in the inprogress db.

    gardener http://localhost:5984 --exclude=work,quarantine,inprogress/_design/feeble

  5. Include Filter. Only poll specified databases, core, awesome and cool, and the design doc hot in the maybe db.

    gardener http://localhost:5984 --include=core,awesome,cool,maybe/_design/hot

  6. Mix and match 1, dbs. Results in core and cool dbs being scanned.

    gardener http://localhost:5984 --include=core,awesome,cool --exclude=test2,work,awesome

  7. Mix and match 2. dbs and ddocs. Exclude always wins. In this case gardener has nothing to watch!

    gardener http://localhost:5984 --include=code/_design/neat --exclude=code

  8. Mix and match 3. dbs and ddocs. Exclude the sucky design doc form the code db

    gardener http://localhost:5984 --include=code --exclude=code/_design/sucky

Dashboard Style

Adding the --dashboard-db tell gardener will only watch the specified db in a changes style feed. It is assumed the documents in this database are install docs that are generated from garden app installer. The advantage of this appoach is that the installation progress can be given to a webui because progress is updated on the install doc.

  1. Watch only the dashboard db using, following the changes feed. First style.

    gardener http://localhost:5984/ --dashboard-db=dashboard --include=dashboard

  2. Watch only the dashboard db using, following the changes feed. Second style.

    gardener http://localhost:5984/dashboard --dashboard=dashboard

  3. Scan all design docs inside of all databases, but for the dashboard db follow the changes feed.

    gardener http://localhost:5984/ --dashboard-db=dashboard
