CLI reference

axiom check

Checks your rules against what is about to change.

• --env <name> — which environment to record the run against.
• --format <json|github|text> — how to print the answer. Defaults to text in a terminal and json everywhere else.
• --override <reason> — go ahead anyway. Always written down, always attributed.

axiom watch

Looks at what is already running rather than what is about to change, and tells you about anything that has drifted.

• --on-deploy — look the moment a deploy finishes, as well as on the timer.
• --since <time> — only things that changed in the last while.

axiom history

Exports your check history for a date range, with the key needed to verify it.
