# adectl - Miscellaneous commands

## Getting help

```shell
adectl help
adectl help <sub-command>
```

To get the top level command(s) or to see help about each command.

## Collecting logs

To report any issue to Akridata support, collect the logs using the following command:

Shell

```shell
adectl logs
```

The above command generates a log file by default in /tmp with the name of dataexplorer-logs-<timestamp>.tar.gz

## Updating software version

```shell
adectl update
```

The above command checks for the update and prompts for confirmation if an update is available.

### Reconfigure the setup

```shell
adectl update --reconfigure
```

The above command updates the configuration as required such as updating the password, updating the license key, etc.

## Teardown the setup

Shell

```shell
adectl teardown
```

This command will cleanup the setup removing all installed software.

Teardown operationA teardown operation will clean up the state, and hence all Data explorer entities like Datasets, containers, jobs, catalogs, etc., will be lost and cannot be recovered.  The teardown operation does not affect the data from the source of the ingestion.
