Litmusctl
The Litmuschaos command-line tool, litmusctl, allows you to manage litmuschaos's chaos delegate plane. You can use litmusctl to connect and disconnect chaos delegates, create chaos scenarios, project, and manage multiple litmuschaos accounts.
Prerequisites​
Litmusctl CLI requires the following things:
- kubeconfig - litmusctl needs the kubeconfig of the k8s cluster where we need to connect litmus chaos delegates. The CLI currently uses the default path of kubeconfig i.e.
~/.kube/config. - kubectl - litmusctl is using kubectl under the hood to apply the manifest.
To install kubectl, follow: kubectl
