Oodle CLI

Command-line interface for the Oodle observability platform.

oodle lets you manage monitors, notifiers, dashboards, synthetic monitors, log metrics, drop rules, API keys, users, and more from your terminal or CI pipeline. It is designed to be friendly for both humans (rich tables, prompts) and agents (deterministic JSON output, exit codes, env-based config).

Installation

Homebrew (macOS / Linux)

brew tap oodle-ai/oodle
brew install oodle

To upgrade:

brew upgrade oodle

Download a release binary

Pre-built binaries for macOS, Linux, and Windows are available on the Releases page. Download the archive for your platform, extract it, and place the oodle binary on your PATH.

Install with go install

go install github.com/oodle-ai/oodle-cli/cmd/oodle@latest

This places the oodle binary in $(go env GOPATH)/bin. Make sure that directory is on your PATH.

Build from source

git clone https://github.com/oodle-ai/oodle-cli.git
cd oodle-cli
make build
# Binary is written to ./bin/oodle
./bin/oodle version

---

Quick Start

# Configure (interactive)
oodle configure

# Or login with OAuth (interactive browser flow)
oodle auth login

# Or use environment variables
export OODLE_API_KEY="your-api-key"
export OODLE_INSTANCE="your-instance"

# List monitors
oodle monitors list

# Get JSON output
oodle monitors list -o json

Authentication

oodle needs three things to talk to the API:

Setting	Purpose	Default
Auth	API key or OAuth access token	(required)
Instance	Identifies your Oodle tenant/instance	(required)
API URL	The Oodle deployment to talk to	https://us1.oodle.ai

Each value can be provided via CLI flag, environment variable, or the config file. Resolution order (highest priority first):

1. CLI flags (--api-key, --instance, --api-url)
2. Environment variables (OODLE_API_KEY / OODLE_OAUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN, OODLE_INSTANCE, OODLE_DEPLOYMENT / OODLE_API_URL)
3. Config file at ~/.oodle/config.yaml
4. Built-in defaults (only for API URL)

The config file is created and managed by oodle configure.

---

Configuration

oodle configure

Save credentials to ~/.oodle/config.yaml.

Interactive mode — run with no flags (or with some flags) in a TTY and oodle will prompt for any missing values:

oodle configure

Non-interactive mode — provide all values as flags and nothing is prompted:

oodle configure \
  --api-key "your-api-key" \
  --instance "your-instance" \
  --api-url "https://us1.oodle.ai"

oodle auth login

Run browser-based OAuth login and save tokens to ~/.oodle/config.yaml. If an API key already exists in config, oodle asks whether to delete it. If both API key and OAuth token remain configured, OAuth is used. OAuth access tokens are refreshed automatically using the saved refresh token.

oodle auth login

Optional flags:

oodle auth login --domain us1.oodle.ai --instance your-instance

oodle auth logout

Clear saved OAuth credentials from ~/.oodle/config.yaml.

oodle auth logout

oodle auth status

Show current auth configuration and precedence.

oodle auth status
oodle auth status -o json

Output Formats

Use -o / --output to control how results are rendered.

Format	Use case
table	Human-readable table (default when stdout is a TTY)
json	Machine-readable JSON (default when stdout is not a TTY)
yaml	Machine-readable YAML
csv	CSV with a header row, suitable for spreadsheets

Auto-detection

If you do not pass --output, oodle picks a sensible default:

• Stdout is a terminal → table
• Stdout is a pipe or file → json

This means commands like oodle monitors list | jq Just Work without needing to pass -o json.

Examples

# Pretty table for humans
oodle monitors list

# JSON for jq / scripting
oodle monitors list -o json | jq '.[] | .id'

# YAML
oodle monitors list -o yaml

# CSV (first line is headers)
oodle monitors list -o csv > monitors.csv

Agent / CI Usage

oodle is designed to work well in non-interactive environments such as CI pipelines and AI agents.

• Configure with environment variables so you don't need a config file:

  export OODLE_API_KEY="$OODLE_API_KEY"
  export OODLE_INSTANCE="prod"
  export OODLE_DEPLOYMENT="https://us1.oodle.ai"

• Force JSON output for predictable parsing — either pass -o json or rely on auto-detection (stdout is not a TTY in CI, so JSON is the default).

  oodle monitors list -o json | jq '.[].id'

• Exit codes:

  • 0 — success
  • non-zero — error (authentication failure, not-found, validation error, network error, etc.)

  Errors are written to stderr; structured output (when applicable) goes to stdout.

• Skip confirmation prompts for destructive operations with --force:

  oodle monitors delete mon-abc123 --force

• Pipe-friendly: when stdout is not a TTY, the default output format becomes JSON automatically. No interactive prompts are issued in non-interactive mode (the CLI errors out clearly instead).

---

File Input

Create / update commands accept a JSON or YAML file via -f / --file. The format is detected from the file extension (.json, .yaml, .yml).

# YAML
oodle monitors create -f monitor.yaml

# JSON
oodle dashboards create -f dashboard.json

# Update from a file
oodle log-metrics update -f log-metric.yaml

The same file format is used for all resource types that support create and update. Use oodle monitors template-files to generate starter templates for monitors.

---

Development

This project uses Go and a simple Makefile. Common commands:

# Build the binary into ./bin/oodle
make build

# Run unit tests
make test

# Run integration tests (requires OODLE_API_KEY and OODLE_INSTANCE)
make test-integration

# Regenerate API client code (if specs change)
make generate

# Run linters
make lint

# Remove build artifacts
make clean

Layout

cmd/oodle/        # main entry point
internal/         # CLI commands, output formatting, client wiring
api/              # OpenAPI specs
test/             # integration tests (build tag: integration)

Releasing

Releases are automated via GoReleaser and GitHub Actions. To cut a new release:

git tag v0.1.0
git push origin v0.1.0

This triggers the release workflow which:

1. Builds cross-platform binaries (macOS/Linux/Windows, amd64/arm64)
2. Creates a GitHub Release with the binaries and checksums
3. Updates the Homebrew formula in oodle-ai/homebrew-oodle

Prerequisites (one-time setup):

1. Create the oodle-ai/homebrew-oodle repository with an empty Formula/ directory.
2. Create a GitHub Personal Access Token for GoReleaser to push the formula update. Prefer a fine-grained PAT scoped only to the oodle-ai/homebrew-oodle repository with Contents: Read and write permission. A classic PAT with repo scope also works but grants broader access than necessary.
3. Add the token as a repository secret named HOMEBREW_TAP_GITHUB_TOKEN in the oodle-cli repo settings.

Running integration tests

Integration tests live under test/ and are gated by the integration build tag. They will skip automatically if OODLE_API_KEY or OODLE_INSTANCE are not set:

OODLE_API_KEY=... OODLE_INSTANCE=... \
  go test -tags integration -v -count=1 ./test/...
