Command-line Interface (CLI)

Overview

The Nimbus Command Line CLI allows you to control and inspect your robot agent directly from a terminal without using the web UI. It mirrors most operations available on the Cogniteam Cloud Platform and exposes additional diagnostic and maintenance tools.

To see the built-in help menu:

nimbus -h

Each top-level manager exposes its own set of subcommands:

nimbus <group> <command> [arguments]
