chainctl Chainguard Control
For the complete documentation index, see llms.txt.
Print the events one attempt at a check recorded.
Print the structured events one attempt at a check recorded, in the order they were recorded: when each activity (provisioning, a step, a process the step ran) started and finished, its progress, and the diagnostics attached to it. “checks describe –events” prints every check’s events of a Run at once; this reads one attempt, all of it.
REF is a directory (its HEAD), a pull request URL or owner/repo#N, a full 40-character commit SHA, or a Run or WorkflowRun id; the current directory by default. –attempt reads that attempt instead of the current one; “checks attempts” lists them.
Event messages and attributes are producer observations, some from the guest, so each line is sanitized. With -o json the events are printed as the API returns them.
chainctl checks events [REF] --check CHECK [--workflow WORKFLOW] [--attempt N] [--sandbox-url URL] [--parent ORGANIZATION_NAME | ORGANIZATION_ID] [--output=json] # What did the check spend its time on?
chainctl checks events acme/app#123 --check test
# The first attempt of a retried check
chainctl checks events acme/app#123 --check test --attempt 1 -o json --attempt int32 Read this attempt of the check instead of its current one.
--check string The check, by name.
--parent string The organization or folder (name or ID) the Runs are in. Defaults to $CHAINCTL_SANDBOX_GROUP, then the default.group config value (env: CHAINGUARD_DEFAULT_GROUP).
--sandbox-url string URL of the sandbox control plane serving the WorkflowRuns API. Overridden by $CHAINCTL_WORKFLOWRUNS_URL. (default "https://workflowruns.chainbox.dev")
--token string Bearer token for the sandbox host. Overrides $CHAINCTL_AUTH_TOKEN and the chainctl session. Prefer passing it via the environment to keep it out of shell history.
--workflow string The workflow the check is in, when two workflows have a check of that name. --api string The url of the Chainguard platform API. (default "https://console-api.enforce.dev")
--audience string The Chainguard token audience to request. (default "https://console-api.enforce.dev")
--config string A specific chainctl config file. Uses CHAINCTL_CONFIG environment variable if a file is not passed explicitly.
--console string The url of the Chainguard platform Console. (default "https://console.chainguard.dev")
--force-color Force color output even when stdout is not a TTY.
-h, --help Help for chainctl
--issuer string The url of the Chainguard STS endpoint. (default "https://issuer.enforce.dev")
--log-level string Set the log level (debug, info) (default "ERROR")
