sfctl is command

Invokes an administrative command on the given Infrastructure Service instance.

For clusters that have one or more instances of the Infrastructure Service configured, this API provides a way to send infrastructure-specific commands to a particular instance of the Infrastructure Service. Available commands and their corresponding response formats vary depending upon the infrastructure on which the cluster is running. This API supports the Service Fabric platform; it is not meant to be used directly from your code.

Arguments

Argument	Description
--command [Required]	The text of the command to be invoked. The content of the command is infrastructure-specific.
--service-id	The identity of the infrastructure service. This is the full name of the infrastructure service without the 'fabric:' URI scheme. This parameter required only for the cluster that has more than one instance of infrastructure service running.
--timeout -t	Default: 60.

Global Arguments

Argument	Description
--debug	Increase logging verbosity to show all debug logs.
--help -h	Show this help message and exit.
--output -o	Output format. Allowed values: json, jsonc, table, tsv. Default: json.
--query	JMESPath query string. See http://jmespath.org/ for more information and examples.
--verbose	Increase logging verbosity. Use --debug for full debug logs.
