By cli

To update through the command line, you need to know the ID of the resource in advance:

image-20210301140900098

Then use the following command to update:

  1. emqx_ctl resources update $ID -d $Desc -c $Config

The first parameter after update is the resource ID, the -d parameter is “description” and the -c parameter is the JSON string format of the specific resource parameter:

For example:

  1. {
  2.     "verify":false,
  3.     "url":"http://www.demo.com",
  4.     "request_timeout":5,
  5.     "pool_size":32,
  6.     "keyfile":"",
  7.     "connect_timeout":5,
  8.     "certfile":"",
  9.     "cacertfile":""
  10. }

It’s string format is:

  1. "{\"verify\":false,\"url\":\"http://www.demo.com\",\"request_timeout\":5,\"pool_size\":32,\"keyfile\":\"\",\"connect_timeout\":5,\"certfile\":\"\",\"cacertfile\":\"\"}"

Full command:

  1. emqx_ctl resources update resource:001 -d "hello" -c "{\"verify\":false,\"url\":\"http://www.demo.com\",\"request_timeout\":5,\"pool_size\":32,\"keyfile\":\"\",\"connect_timeout\":5,\"certfile\":\"\",\"cacertfile\":\"\"}"

So far, we have completed two ways to update resources through the management interface and the command line.
