Command line utilities

Kumu Enterprise comes with a set of command line utilities to help administer your appliance.

SSH access is required to use the utilities, so make sure to enable ssh access if you haven't already done so.

kumu-logs-dump

Use this command to export the system logs so our enterprise team can diagnose the errors:

ssh admin@<hostname> -- "kumu-logs-dump" > kumu-logs.tar.gz

kumu-export

Export the appliance's data and settings.

ssh admin@<hostname> -- "kumu-export" > kumu-backup.tar.gz

kumu-import

Import an existing backup into a fresh appliance.

Make sure you have uploaded your license before running this command.

ssh admin@<hostname> -- "kumu-import" < kumu-backup.tar.gz

kumu-ssl-enable

Use kumu-ssl-enable to re-enable SSL after disabling, or apply changes after uploading a new certificate and key.

ssh admin@<hostname> -- kumu-ssl-enable

kumu-ssl-disable

NOTE: Kumu Enterprise sends HSTS headers when SSL is enabled. Users will have to clear these headers from their browsers' cache to access the site via HTTP if SSL is disabled.

ssh admin@<hostname> -- kumu-ssl-disable

kumu-ssl-install-cert

Use kumu-ssl-install-cert to upload a custom certificate.

  • certificate must include subdomains (eg *.kumuenterprise.example.com)

  • certificate must not include a passphrase

  • certificate must be encoded in PEM format

  • certificate must include the full chain if signed by a CA

ssh admin@<hostname> -- "kumu-ssl-install-cert" < fullchain.pem

NOTE: After you have uploaded your certificate and key, you must run kumu-ssl-enable to apply the changes.

kumu-ssl-install-key

Use kumu-ssl-install-key to upload a custom private key.

  • key must be encoded in PEM format

ssh admin@<hostname> -- "kumu-ssl-install-key" < privkey.pem

NOTE: After you have uploaded your certificate and key, you must run kumu-ssl-enable to apply the changes.

kumu-ssl-enable-selfsigned

The kumu-ssl-enable-selfsigned allows your instance to use a self-signed SSL certificate that is generated for you automatically when the instance first boots.

Note: we consider this a legacy feature. While we still support kumu-ssl-enable-selfsigned, we only recommend using it for debugging purposes, or temporary Enterprise trials. We no longer recommended using the self-signed certificate in production with end users, since modern browsers will show persistent, strong security warnings that end users will have to repeatedly bypass.
