CLI

The command line interface as used by maxadmin. This is a variant of the debugcli that is built slightly differently so that it may be accessed by the client application maxadmin. The CLI requires the use of the maxscaled protocol.

Configuration

There are two components to the definition required in order to run the command line interface to use with MaxAdmin; a service and a listener.

The default entries required are shown below.

[CLI]
type=service
router=cli

[CLI Listener]
type=listener
service=CLI
protocol=maxscaled
address=localhost
port=6603

Note that this uses the default port of 6603 and confines the connections to localhost connections only. Remove the address= entry to allow connections from any machine on your network. Changing the port from 6603 will mean that you must always pass a -P option to the maxadmin command.
