I am using Jenkins job to automatically update the consul key using HTTPS endpoint. The syntax I am using to update the consul key a/b/c is mentioned below:
curl -f -s --show-error "https://example.com/a/b/c?AdminKey=xxxxx&token=yyyyyyy&value=nnn"
(Here key is a/b/c)
The above command works fine and updates consul key a/b/c to value nnn.
Now I want to fetch the value of same key a/b/c in a variable then how I can fetch using curl command similar to what I have used for updating key?
Note: I have tried curl command such as
v1=curl -f -s --show-error "https://example.com/a/b/c?AdminKey=xxxxx&token=yyyyyyy"
where v1 is a temp variable to hold the value. But this is not working.
You can update a key using this syntax.
curl --request PUT --fail --silent --show-error "http://localhost:8500/v1/kv/a/b/c?token=<token>" --data 'nnn'
The value can then be retrieved and stored in a variable using this command.
export VARIABLE=$(curl --fail --silent --show-error "http://localhost:8500/v1/kv/a/b/c?token=<token>&raw")
See https://www.consul.io/api-docs/kv for more info on the supported arguments for these API calls.
