Tags

Tags are user-provided custom attributes to group nodes based on your business requirements or use case (for example, department, cost center code, or store name). Tags applied on a node are categorized by the “tags” namespace.

Apply a tag

To apply a tag, follow these steps:

1. Create a tag payload in a file, for example, tag.json

   Payload for creating a node filter

   [{
       "name": "testtagkey",
       "value": "somevalue"
   }]
   

2. Run the following command to apply the tag on a node:

   chef-node-management-cli management node update-tags --nodeId <nodeId> --body-file tag.json
   

   Chef Node Management returns:

   {
       "items": [{
           "name": "testtagkey",
           "value": "somevalue"
       }]
   }
