ScyllaDB Docs Scylla Manager CLI sctool Environment variables
For AI agents: a documentation index is available at https://manager.docs.scylladb.com/branch-3.11/llms.txt. A Markdown version of this page is at https://manager.docs.scylladb.com/branch-3.11/sctool/global-flags-and-variables.md.

Environment variablesΒΆ

The variables presented in this section can be used with any sctool command.

sctool uses the following environment variables:

  • SCYLLA_MANAGER_CLUSTER - if set, specifies the default value for the -c, --cluster flag, in commands that support it.

  • SCYLLA_MANAGER_API_URL - if set, specifies the default value for the --api-url flag; it can be useful when using sctool with a remote ScyllaDB Manager server.

The environment variables may be saved in your ~/.bashrc file so that the variables are set after login.
