Advanced use of the cyberwatch command

This documentation explains how to use the advanced parameters of the cyberwatch command using environment variables.

All the following variables can be modified in two different ways:

  • Temporarily. By using the variable in the command line. For example, to make a backup in another folder:

     sudo CBW_BACKUP_DIR=/tmp/backups cyberwatch backup save

  • “Definitively” by adding or editing the configuration file of the Cyberwatch orchestrator located at /etc/cyberwatch/config.env (or defined by ${CBW_CONFIG_FILE})
