Kill an active CLI session

Availability: This command is available to cluster administrators at the admin privilege level.

Description

The security session kill-cli command is used to terminate active CLI sessions. If the session being killed is actively processing a non-read command, the kill will wait until the command is complete before terminating the session. If the session being killed is actively processing a read (show) command, the kill will wait until the current row is returned before terminating the session.

Parameters

-node {<nodename>|local} - Node

Selects the sessions that match this parameter value. This identifies the node that is processing the session.

[-interface {cli|ontapi}] - Interface

Selects the sessions that match this parameter value. This identifies the interface (CLI or ONTAPI) that is processing the session.

[-start-time <MM/DD HH:MM:SS>] - Start Time

Selects the sessions that match this parameter value. This identifies the start time of the current active session.

-session-id <integer> - Session ID

Selects the sessions that match this parameter value. This number uniquely identifies a management session within a given node.

[-vserver <vserver>] - Vserver

Selects the sessions that match this parameter value. This identifies the Vserver associated with this management session.

[-username <text>] - Username

Selects the sessions that match this parameter value. This identifies the authenticated user associated with this management session.

[-application <text>] - Client Application

Selects the sessions that match this parameter value. This identifies the calling application by name.

[-location <text>] - Client Location

Selects the sessions that match this parameter value. This identifies the location of the calling client application. This is typically the IP address of the calling client, or "console" or "localhost" for console or localhost connections.

[-idle-seconds <integer>] - Idle Seconds

Selects the sessions that match this parameter value. When a session is not actively executing a command request (the session is idle), this indicates the time (in seconds) since the last request completed.

[-state {pending|active|idle}] - Session State

Selects the sessions that match this parameter value. This identifies the state (pending, active, or idle) of the session. The state is "pending" if it hit a session limit and the session is waiting for another session to end. The state is "idle" for CLI sessions that are waiting at the command prompt. The state is "active" if the session is actively working on a request.

[-request <text>] - Active Command

Selects the sessions that match this parameter value. This identifies the request (command) that is currently being handled by the session.

Examples

The following example illustrates killing a CLI session by specifying the node and the session id.

The following example illustrates killing a CLI session by specifying the node and specifying a query on idle-seconds.
