Environment variables for tctl

Setting environment variables for repeated parameters can shorten tctl commands.

TEMPORAL_CLI_ADDRESS​

Specify a host and port for the Frontend Service. The default is 127.0.0.1:7233.

TEMPORAL_CLI_AUTHORIZATION_TOKEN​

Specify a token to be used by the HTTP Basic Authorization plugin.

TEMPORAL_CLI_NAMESPACE​

Specify a Namespace. By setting this variable, you don't need to specify a --namespace modifier in a tctl command. The default Namespace is default.

TEMPORAL_CLI_PLUGIN_DATA_CONVERTER​

Specify the name of the executable for a custom Data Converter plugin.

TEMPORAL_CLI_PLUGIN_HEADERS_PROVIDER​

Specify the name of the executable for a headers provider plugin.

TEMPORAL_CLI_TLS_CA​

Specify the path to a server Certificate Authority (CA) certificate file.

TEMPORAL_CLI_TLS_CERT​

Specify the path to a public X.509 certificate file for mutual TLS authentication.

TEMPORAL_CLI_TLS_DISABLE_HOST_VERIFICATION​

Set to disable verification of the server certificate (and thus host verification).

TEMPORAL_CLI_TLS_KEY​

Specify the path to a private key file for mutual TLS authentication. If you set this variable, you must also set the TEMPORAL_CLI_TLS_CERT variable.

TEMPORAL_CLI_TLS_SERVER_NAME​

Specify an override for the name of the target server that is used for TLS host verification. The name must be one of the DNS names listed in the server TLS certificate. Setting this variable also enables host verification.

TEMPORAL_CONTEXT_TIMEOUT​

Specify a timeout for the context of an RPC call in seconds. The default value is 5.
