signaloid-cli drives

Manage virtual drives for data source integration.

Synopsis

signaloid-cli drives <command> [options]

Description

The drives command group allows you to manage virtual drives that connect data sources to your Signaloid applications. Drives provide a unified interface for accessing data from:

• Buckets - Cloud storage buckets (S3, etc.)
• Gateways - IoT device gateways
• Signaloid Cloud Storage - Native Signaloid storage

Commands

• list - List all drives
• get - Get details of a specific drive
• create - Create a new drive
• update - Update drive configuration
• delete - Delete a drive

Data Sources

A drive can contain multiple data sources. Each data source specifies:

• ResourceID - Identifier of the resource (bucket ID, gateway ID, etc.)
• ResourceType - Type of resource: Gateway, Bucket, or SignaloidCloudStorage
• Location - Path within the resource (e.g., /data/inputs/)

Data Source JSON Format

{
  "ResourceID": "bucket-abc123",
  "ResourceType": "Bucket",
  "Location": "/datasets/"
}

Common Use Cases
