Configuration

xds-cli configuration is defined either by environment variables or by setting command line options.

Configuration through environment variables may also be defined in a file that will be sourced by xds-cli on start-up.

Use --config|-c option or set XDS_CONFIG environment variable to specify the config file to use.

So configuration is driven either by environment variables or by command line options or using a config file knowing that the following priority order is used:

  1. use option value (for example use project ID set by --id option),
  2. else use variable XDS_xxx (for example XDS_PROJECT_ID variable) when a config file is specified with --config|-c option,
  3. else use XDS_xxx (for example XDS_PROJECT_ID) environment variable

Note:

All parameters after a double dash (--) are considered as the command to execute on xds-server.
