stack es security create-api-key cli command

elastic stack es security create-api-key [options]

Create an API key.

Behaviour flags:

--dry-run — validate all inputs and exit without performing any action

--refresh enum

If true (the default) then refresh the affected shards to make this operation visible to search, if wait_for then wait for a refresh to make this operation visible to search, if false then do nothing with refreshes.

Values: true, false, wait_for

--expiration string

The expiration time for the API key. By default, API keys never expire.

--name string

A name for the API key.

--role-descriptors string

An array of role descriptors for this API key. When it is not specified or it is an empty array, the API key will have a point in time snapshot of permissions of the authenticated user. If you supply role descriptors, the resultant permissions are an intersection of API keys permissions and the authenticated user's permissions thereby limiting the access scope for API keys. The structure of role descriptor is the same as the request for the create role API. For more details, refer to the create or update roles API. NOTE: Due to the way in which this permission intersection is calculated, it is not possible to create an API key that is a child of another API key, unless the derived key is created without any privileges. In this case, you must explicitly specify a role descriptor with no privileges. The derived API key can be used for authentication; it will not have authority to call Elasticsearch APIs.

--metadata string

Arbitrary metadata that you want to associate with the API key. It supports nested data structure. Within the metadata object, keys beginning with _ are reserved for system usage.

--error-trace

When set to true Elasticsearch will include the full stack trace of errors when they occur.

--filter-path string

Comma-separated list of filters in dot notation which reduce the response returned by Elasticsearch.

Repeatable: pass --filter-path multiple times to supply more than one value

--human

When set to true will return statistics in a format suitable for humans. For example "exists_time": "1h" for humans and "exists_time_in_millis": 3600000 for computers. When disabled the human readable values will be omitted. This makes sense for responses being consumed only by machines.

--pretty

If set to true the returned JSON will be "pretty-formatted". Only use this option for debugging only.

--input-file string

path to a JSON file to use as command input

--dry-run

validate all inputs and exit without performing any action (preview changes without applying them)

--no-validate

skip input validation and send the request as-is

--output-fields string

comma-separated list of fields to include in output (dot-notation supported)

--output-template string

Mustache-like template for custom text output (e.g. "{{id}}: {{name}}")

--json

output as JSON
