CLI tool to manage cluster

[#1]

Hi, 

I'm planning to bring the Kafka as a Service. I would need any client or command-line tools to add a cluster. Right now, I'm able to add from Cloudera Manager, but I would want to do it from the CLI. Do we have any API or any leads to get this done?

Hi @sharathkumar13 

Cloudera Manager comes with an API. Here is a link to the Cloudera Manager API guide:

http://cloudera.github.io/cm_api/docs/quick-start/

Does that help?

You can use the Cloudera Manager API call something like following to start/stop Kafka Service (or any desired service)

In order to stop "kafka" service:

# curl -iLv -u admin:admin -X POST --header 'Accept: application/json' 'ttp://dc-1.example.com:7180/api/v40/clusters/TestCluster/services/kafka/commands/stop'

In order to start "kafka" Service

# curl -iLv -u admin:admin -X POST --header 'Accept: application/json' 'ttp://dc-1.example.com:7180/api/v40/clusters/TestCluster/services/kafka/commands/start'

.
Please also take a look at the Cloudera Manager Swagger APIs. 
Cloudera Manager(CM) 6.0 introduces new Python API client cm_client based on Swagger. This new API client supports all CM API versions.

https://cloudera.github.io/cm_api/docs/python-client-swagger/
.

Here please replace the CM credentials and cluster name in CM host port in the above mentioned API calls.
