CLI Authentication

The prb auth commands manage authentication credentials for the Probo CLI. You need to authenticate before using any other commands.

  1. Run the login command

    Terminal window
    prb auth login

    In interactive mode, you’ll be prompted for:

    • Hostname — your Probo instance URL (default: app.getprobo.com)
    • Authentication token — your API token
    • Organization — the organization to use by default
  2. Or provide values directly

    Terminal window
    prb auth login --hostname app.getprobo.com --token YOUR_TOKEN --org YOUR_ORG_ID
Flag Default Description
--hostname app.getprobo.com Probo instance hostname
--token Authentication token
--org Default organization ID

View authentication status for all configured hosts:

Terminal window
prb auth status

This displays the active host, token validity, and selected organization.

Remove stored credentials for a host:

Terminal window
prb auth logout

In interactive mode, you can select which host to log out of when multiple hosts are configured.

Flag Description
--hostname Specific host to log out of
