Do you know what command was given last night? Command History


ACLI is a command line utility that is used to create/modify/manage VMs on AHV.

NCLI is a command-line utility that can manage almost all cluster operations.

This article describes how to access the ACLI and NCLI command history.


ACLI HISTORY COMMANDS

The ACLI command history is stored in the file /home/nutanix/.acli_history.

Notes:

This file is available only on CVMs hosted on AHV. It is not available on CVMs running on ESXi or Hyper-V.

This file is hidden.

It is helpful to determine what commands were run before to troubleshoot.

nutanix@cvm$ cat /home/nutanix/.acli_history


NCLI HISTORY COMMANDS

The NCLI command history is stored in the file /home/nutanix/.nutanix_history.

  • This file is hidden.

nutanix@cvm$ cat /home/nutanix/.nutanix_history

BASH History

All ACLI and NCLI commands that were directly run from bash are also logged to the file /home/nutanix/.bash_history.

Again, use the cat command to view its contents:

nutanix@cvm$ cat /home/nutanix/.bash_history
