CLI: Bandwidth Throttling
Learn how to use the CLI to manage upload and download bandwidth.
Table of Contents
The CLI references “skysync.” This is expected.
Overview
Bandwidth throttling allows the user to limit how much upload or download bandwidth DryvIQ's jobs use. Throttling can be set up to take effect at certain times of day.
Parameters
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
upload u |

Updating Throttling Configuration
If the disabled flag on the upload or download is set to true, both configurations will be ignored.

Setting Upload Throttling
Example 1
node bin/skysync.js performance bandwidth_throttle update --upload '{ "bytes_per_second": 504000, "disabled": false, "window": [ { "bytes_per_second": 222444, "days" : ["Monday", "Tuesday", "Friday", "Saturday"], "start_time": { "hr": 2, "min": 2, "sec": 0 },"end_time": { "hr": 12, "min": 12, "sec": 0 } }]}'
Example 2
node bin/skysync.js performance bandwidth_throttle update --u '{ "bytes_per_second": 504000, "disabled": false, "window": [ { "bytes_per_second": 222444, "days" : ["Monday", "Tuesday", "Friday", "Saturday"], "start_time": { "hr": 2, "min": 2, "sec": 0 },"end_time": { "hr": 12, "min": 12, "sec": 0 } }]}'
Example 3
node bin/skysync.js performance bandwidth_throttle update --upload-file {name_of_file}.json
Example 4
node bin/skysync.js performance bandwidth_throttle update --uf {name_of_file}.json
Setting Download Throttling

Example 1
node bin/skysync.js performance bandwidth_throttle update --download '{ "bytes_per_second": 504000, "disabled": false, "window": [ { "bytes_per_second": 222444, "days" : ["Monday", "Tuesday", "Friday", "Saturday"], "start_time": { "hr": 2, "min": 2, "sec": 0 },"end_time": { "hr": 12, "min": 12, "sec": 0 } }]}'
Example 2
node bin/skysync.js performance bandwidth_throttle update --d '{ "bytes_per_second": 504000, "disabled": false, "window": [ { "bytes_per_second": 222444, "days" : ["Monday", "Tuesday", "Friday", "Saturday"], "start_time": { "hr": 2, "min": 2, "sec": 0 },"end_time": { "hr": 12, "min": 12, "sec": 0 } }]}'
Example 3
node bin/skysync.js performance bandwidth_throttle update --download-file {name_of_file}.json
Example 4
node bin/skysync.js performance bandwidth_throttle update --df {name_of_file}.json
