nodeconsole(8) -- Open a console to a confluent node
=====================================================
## SYNOPSIS
`nodeconsole [options] <noderange> [kill][-- [passthroughoptions]]`
## DESCRIPTION
**nodeconsole** opens an interactive console session to a given node. This is the
text or serial console of a system. Exiting is done by hitting `Ctrl-e`, then `c`,
then `.`. Note that console output by default is additionally logged to
`/var/log/confluent/consoles/`**NODENAME**.
When the console connection to the target is broken, then confluent on backend
will initiate an automatic retry interval that is randomized between 2 and 4 minutes.
The reopen escape sequence below requests an immediate retry, as does connecting
a new session.
When a windowed console is open the `nodeconsole <noderange> kill` command will kill the
console process which will result in the console window closing.
## OPTIONS
* `-t`, `--tile`:
Use tmux to arrange consoles of the given noderange into a tiled layout on
the terminal screen
* `-l`, `--log`:
Perform a log reply on the current, local log in /var/log/confluent/consoles.
If in collective mode, this only makes sense to use on the current collective
manager at this time.
* `-T`, `--Timestamp`:
Dump the log with Timpstamps on the current, local log in /var/log/confluent/consoles.
If in collective mode, this only makes sense to use on the current collective
manager at this time.
* `-w`, `--windowed`:
Open terminal windows for each node. The
environment variable **NODECONSOLE_WINDOWED_COMMAND**
should be set, which should be a text string corresponding
to a command that can be used to open a windowed console,
omitting the `nodeconsole <noderange>` part of the
command, for example, to open a set of consoles for a
range of nodes in separate xterm windows, set
**NODECONSOLE_WINDOWED_COMMAND** to `xterm -e`. To open a
set of consoles for a range of nodes in separate
GNOME Terminal windows with a size of 100 columns and
31 rows, set **NODECONSOLE_WINDOWED_COMMAND**
to `gnome-terminal --geometry 100x31 --` or in a WSL
environment, to open a set of consoles for a range of
nodes in separate Windows Terminal windows, with the
title set for each node, set **NODECONSOLE_WINDOWED_COMMAND**
to `wt.exe wsl.exe -d AlmaLinux-8 --shell-type login. If the
NODECONSOLE_WINDOWED_COMMAND environment variable isn't set,
xterm will be used bydefault.
## ESCAPE SEQUENCE COMMANDS
While connected to a console, a number of commands may be performed through escape
sequences. To begin an command escape sequence, hit `Ctrl-e`, then `c`. The next
keystroke will be interpreted as a command. The following commands are available.
* `.`:
Exit the session and return to the command prompt
* `b`:
[send Break]
Send a break to the remote console when possible (some console plugins may not support this)
* `o`:
[reOpen]
Request confluent to disconnect and reconnect to console. For example if there is suspicion
that the console has gone inoperable, but would work if reconnected.
* `po`:
[Power Off]
Power off server immediately, without waiting for OS to shutdown
* `ps`:
[Power Shutdown]
Request OS shut down gracefully, and then power off
* `pb<ent>`:
[Power Boot]
Cause system to immediately boot, resetting or turning on as appropriate.
Hitting enter is required to execute the reboot rather than another pb sequence
* `pbs`:
[Power Boot Setup]
Request immediate boot ultimately landing in interactive firmware setup
* `pbn`:
[Power Boot Network]
Request immediate boot to network
* `r`:
[send Resize]
This queries the current terminal and sends stty commands to advertise the user termineal
size to the remote console
* `?`:
Get a list of supported commands
* `<ent>`:
Hit enter to skip entering a command at the escape prompt.
## PASSTHROUGH OPTIONS
While opening a windowed console with xterm or any other console of choice. The
nodeconsole command gives capality to specify passthrough options targeted at
the console. All options after the -- will be parsed the console program. For
example, opening a windowed console using xterm with a black background.
`nodeconconsole -w n1 -- -bg black`
