API Target Management

Targets are used to manage the addresses of the remote Lens AppIQ API endpoint.

Each target is identified by a label and an HTTPS address. The Lens AppIQ client requires at least one target to connect to. A user may have multiple targets, but only one will be used at a time.

Lens AppIQ API Target Address

$ lapps target add api api.lenscloud.io -s

Adding Targets

lapps target add <label> <target> [--set-current|-s]

The command above adds a new entry to the list of available targets.

📘

Target Label

Please note that the label flag used in the command above can be any name chosen by the user and not necessarily any label or name tied to the Lens AppIQ instance when created.

It's also important to notice that a user can have multiple Lens AppIQ targets configured in their machine, so they can use labels to distinguish between the different Lens AppIQ targets.
