Update Resources by Command Line Tool

To update through the command line, you need to know the ID of the resource in advance:

Then use the following command to update:

emqx_ctl resources update $ID -d $Desc -c $Config

The first parameter after update is the resource ID, the -d parameter is "description" and the -c parameter is the JSON string format of the specific resource parameter:

For example:

{
    "verify":false,
    "url":"http://www.demo.com",
    "request_timeout":5,
    "pool_size":32,
    "keyfile":"",
    "connect_timeout":5,
    "certfile":"",
    "cacertfile":""
}

It's string format is:

"{\"verify\":false,\"url\":\"http://www.demo.com\",\"request_timeout\":5,\"pool_size\":32,\"keyfile\":\"\",\"connect_timeout\":5,\"certfile\":\"\",\"cacertfile\":\"\"}"

Full command:

emqx_ctl resources update resource:001 -d "hello" -c "{\"verify\":false,\"url\":\"http://www.demo.com\",\"request_timeout\":5,\"pool_size\":32,\"keyfile\":\"\",\"connect_timeout\":5,\"certfile\":\"\",\"cacertfile\":\"\"}"

So far, we have completed two ways to update resources through the management interface and the command line.
