CloudGeniX SHell (cgxsh)

Command-line access to the controller-based CloudGenix ION Troubleshooting Toolkit.

WARNING

As of 6/2023, Using username/password for controller login is DEPRECATED. This method has not been removed from cgxsh as of version 1.0.2b1. This may still function for specific legacy customers/accounts.

Please switch to AUTH_TOKEN controller login as soon as possible. A future update will add support for Prisma SASE TSG/Service Accounts, which will be the recommended authentication mode for future use.

Synopsis

The cgxsh application is designed to allow a CloudGenix customer to replace a lot of the device-specific troubleshooting traditionally performed via SSH with a cloud-based connectivity model.

This utility attempts to behave "ssh-like", but there are fundamental differences.

This utility should support Windows (Win 10 or higher) and Mac/Linux systems.

Requirements

Installation

  • Via PIP as simple as pip install cgxsh

Commands/Features

cgxsh

  • Multi-tenant ESP/MSP support: cgxsh "Device_name"@"Tenant_Name"
  • Configuration file with Multi-tenant support and optional Encryption to store credential(s)
