METABASE-PROFILE(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation METABASE-PROFILE(1)NAMEmetabase-profile - create a metabase profile
VERSION
version 0.024
SYNOPSIS
$ metabase-profile
Enter full name: John Doe
Enter email address: jdoe@example.com
Enter password/secret: zqxjkh
Writing profile to 'metabase_id.json'
USAGE
The metabase-profile program makes it easy to create a user profile for
submitting facts and reports to a Metabase server.
Valid options include:
--email ADDRESS user email address eg "jd@example.com"
--name FULLNAME full user name, eg "John Doe"
-o, --output FILENAME output filename
--secret PASSWORD password for authentication
-h, --help print man page
If no output file name is given, the default name 'metabase_id.json'
will be used. If the output filename (or default) exists, the program
will abort rather than overwrite the file. The output file will be in
JSON and contain the user profile and the user's shared secret.
Typically, when a Metabase server first receives a report from a new
user profile, the shared secret is recorded and will be used to
authenticate subsequent submissions. The output should not be shared
publicly or made group or world readable.
Use the resulting file according to the instructions of your Metabase
client program. You may wish to copy it across computers if you would
like to be identified consistently when submitting reports from
different locations.
