Once the device certificates are generated, they also need to be registered with the cloud service using the register command.

Usage:

python rainmaker_admin_cli.py certs devicecert register [-h] --inputfile <csvfilename>
                                                        [--groupname <nodegroupname>] [--type <nodetype>]
                                                        [--model <nodemodel>] [--parent_groupname <parent_groupname>][--subtype <nodesubtype>]
                                                        [--tags <nodetags>]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --inputfile <csvfilename>
                        Name of file containing node ids and certs
  --groupname <nodegroupname>
                        Name of the group to which node are to be added after successful registration
  --type <nodetype>     Node type
  --model <nodemodel>   Node model
  --parent_groupname <parent_groupname> 
                        Name of the parent group to which this newly created group will be a child group      
  --subtype <nodesubtype> Node SubType
  --tags <nodetags> Comma separated strings of tags to be attached to the nodes.(eg: location:Pune,office:espressif)

For the example in device certificate generation section the node_certs_file file would be test/2020-11-29/Mfg-00001/common/node_certs.csv. This command will give a request id in response, which can be used for monitoring the status.

Adding Tags

Basic Tags can be added to nodes using the --tags option. Using --tags loc:Amsterdam will add this same tag to all the nodes in node_certs.csv.
{{< hint type=caution >}} For adding tags, minimum rainmaker supported version is 1.1.27.tool works. {{< /hint >}}

If different tag values are to be used for each node in the node_certs.csv file, use --tags loc:@city, where city should be a column in the node_certs.csv.

For example:
node_certs.csv: | node_id | certs | city | | ------- | ----- | --------- | | node1 | cert1 | Amsterdam | | node2 | cert2 | Barcelona |

After passing --tags loc:@city,

• node1 will get the tag: loc:Amsterdam.
• node2 will get the tag: loc:Barcelona.

To use CSV based tags, i.e city:@loc where loc is a column in the CSV, the minimum rainmaker supported version is 1.1.28.
