Command Line Interface
ActiveMQ Artemis has a Command Line Interface (CLI) that can used to manage a few aspects of the broker like instance creation, basic user management, queues, etc.
There are two ways the CLI can be used:
- Bash Shell
- A traditional CLI that can be accessed by './artemis ARGUMENTS...'
- Artemis Shell
- A shell emulation that is accesssed by './artemis' or './artemis shell".
All commands available through the traditional Command Line Interface (CLI) are also available through the Shell interface.
The Shell interface will reuse some information as you repeat commands, such as the user, password, and target broker URI making the repetitive use a bit simpler.
The CLI interface however could be used in your bash scripts for your own automation while the Shell session being a user interface in a terminal session.
Getting Help
All of these commands can be accessed in the form of calling "artemis [COMMAND] [PARAMETERS]". You can get a complete list of available commands by typing:
./artemis help
Usage: artemis [COMMAND]
ActiveMQ Artemis Command Line
Commands:
help use 'help <command>' for more information
auto-complete Generates the auto complete script file to be used in bash or
zsh.
shell JLine3 shell helping using the CLI

It is also possible to use help at a specific command or sub-command for more information. Examples:
To get a list of sub commands for data, you type './artemis help data':
Commands:

Bash and ZSH auto complete
Bash and ZSH provide ways to auto-complete command line interfaces. To integrate with that functionality you have the option to generate the 'auto-complete' script:
./artemis auto-complete
This will generate a file named auto-complete-artemis.sh that should be used with:
source ./auto-complete-artemis.sh
After the auto completion installed in the bash session, bash would start to show auto-completion information upon the pressure of the key [TAB]:
bin % ./artemis
activation browser create kill perf-journal run transfer version
address check data mask producer shell upgrade
auto-complete consumer help perf queue stop user
Same showing options:
bin % ./artemis create --
--addresses --jdbc-bindings-table-name --paging
--aio --jdbc-connection-url --password
--allow-anonymous --jdbc-driver-class-name --ping
--autocreate --jdbc-large-message-table-name --port-offset
--autodelete --jdbc-lock-expiration --queues
--blocking --jdbc-lock-renew-period --relax-jolokia
--cluster-password --jdbc-message-table-name --replicated
--cluster-user --jdbc-network-timeout --require-login
--clustered --jdbc-node-manager-table-name --role
Input required
Some functionality on the CLI may require user input if not provided through a parameter in cases like connecting to a broker or creating the broker instance.
For example:
bin % ./artemis queue stat
Connection brokerURL = tcp://localhost:61616
Connection failed::AMQ229031: Unable to validate user from /127.0.0.1:56320. Username: null; SSL certificate subject DN: unavailable
--user:
Type the username for a retry
a
--password: is mandatory with this configuration:
Type the password for a retry
Artemis Shell
To initialize the shell session, type './artemis shell' (or just ./artemis if you prefer):
./artemis
The ActiveMQ Artemis Shell provides an interface that can be used to call the CLI commands directly without leaving the Java Virtual Machine.

For a list of commands, type help or press <TAB>:
Type exit or press <CTRL-D> to leave the session:

Connecting
It is possible to authenticate your CLI client once to the server, and reuse the connection information for future commands being performed:
Apache ActiveMQ Artemis > connect --user=a --password=b --url tcp://localhost:61616
Connection brokerURL = tcp://localhost:61616
Connection Successful!
Now any command requiring authentication will reuse these parameters.
For example the sub-command 'queue stat' will reuse previous information to perform its connection to the broker.
Apache ActiveMQ Artemis > queue stat
Connection brokerURL = tcp://localhost:61616

Connecting from Command Line
To make the initial connection simpler, it is possible to start the shell with an initial connection from the startup:
./artemis shell --user <username> --password <password> --url <tcp://myserver:myport>
The CLI should not ask for an user/password for any further commands with this option being used:
Example:
bin % ./artemis shell --user a --password b
...
