The HCX Manager Central CLI is used for diagnostic information collection and secure connections to the Service Mesh.

The Central CLI (CCLI) on HCX Manager allows you to run commands available centrally on the site manager to view the run time state for HCX Manager services. The CCLI reduces troubleshooting time by providing centralized diagnostics and improves the security posture of the Service Mesh appliances by eliminating the need to run the SSH service on them. To use it, first you must activate the CCLI on the HCX Manager.

Procedure

  1. Use VMRC or SSH to connect to the HCX Manager shell.
  2. Type ccli.

    The CCLI is now available.

  3. To begin exploring the CCLI, use the help command.
