CLI Tool and PCE Resource Management

With the Illumio CLI Tool, you can manage many of your PCE's resources directly from your local computer.

Some purposes of the CLI Tool include the following capabilities:

  • Import vulnerability data for analysis with Illumination.
  • Help with tasks such as directly importing workload information to create workloads in bulk.
  • Create, view, and manage your organization's security policy rules, rulesets, labels, and other resources.
CAUTION:

The CLI Tool is a powerful way to work with your PCE resources. Exercise caution to make sure your use of the tool does not adversely affect your system. If possible, test your CLI Tool commands against a non-production system before using them on your production PCEs.

The CLI Tool is named ilo. It is a wrapper around the  Illumio Core REST API. No knowledge of the REST API is required.
