Notes:
- For litmusctl v0.23.0 or latest
litmusctl
has a syntax to use as follows:
litmusctl [command] [TYPE] [flags]
- Command: refers to what you do want to perform (connect, create, get and config)
- Type: refers to the feature type you are performing a command against (chaos-infra, project etc.)
- Flags: It takes some additional information for resource operations. For example,
--installation-mode
allows you to specify an installation mode.
Litmusctl is using the .litmusconfig
config file to manage multiple accounts
- If the --config flag is set, then only the given file is loaded. The flag may only be set once and no merging takes place.
- Otherwise, the ${HOME}/.litmusconfig file is used, and no merging takes place.
Litmusctl supports both interactive and non-interactive(flag based) modes.
Only
litmusctl connect chaos-infra
command needs --non-interactive flag, other commands don't need this flag to be in non-interactive mode. If mandatory flags aren't passed, then litmusctl takes input in an interactive mode.
- To setup an account with litmusctl
litmusctl config set-account
Next, you need to enter ChaosCenter details to login into your ChaosCenter account. Fields to be filled in:
ChaosCenter URL: Enter the URL used to access the ChaosCenter.
Example, https://preview.litmuschaos.io/
Username: Enter your ChaosCenter username. Password: Enter your ChaosCenter password.
Host endpoint where litmus is installed: https://preview.litmuschaos.io/
Username [Default: admin]: admin
Password:
account.username/admin configured
- To connect a Chaos Infrastructure in a cluster mode
litmusctl connect chaos-infra
There will be a list of existing projects displayed on the terminal. Select the desired project by entering the sequence number indicated against it.
Project list:
1. Project-Admin
Select a project [Range: 1-1]: 1
Next, select the installation mode based on your requirement by entering the sequence number indicated against it.
Litmusctl can install a Chaos Infrastructure in two different modes.
-
cluster mode: With this mode, the Chaos Infrastructure can run the chaos in any namespace. It installs appropriate cluster roles and cluster role bindings to achieve this mode.
-
namespace mode: With this mode, the Chaos Infrastructure can run the chaos in its namespace. It installs appropriate roles and role bindings to achieve this mode.
Note: With namespace mode, the user needs to create the namespace to install the Chaos Infrastructure as a prerequisite.
Installation Modes:
1. Cluster
2. Namespace
Select Mode [Default: cluster] [Range: 1-2]: 1
🏃 Running prerequisites check....
🔑 clusterrole ✅
🔑 clusterrolebinding ✅
🌟 Sufficient permissions. Installing the Chaos Infrastructure...
Next, enter the details of the new Chaos infrastructure.

Enter the namespace (new or existing namespace) [Default: litmus]:
👍 Continuing with litmus namespace
Once, all these steps are implemented you will be able to see a summary of all the entered fields. After verification of these details, you can proceed with the connection of the Chaos infra by entering Y. The process of connection might take up to a few seconds.
Enter service account [Default: litmus]:
📌 Summary
Chaos Infra Name: test4
Chaos EnvironmentID: test
Chaos Infra Description:
Chaos Infra SSL/TLS Skip: false
