1.4. Setting a Default Organization and Location

Many hammer commands are organization specific. You can set a default organization and location for hammer commands so that you do not have to specify them every time with the --organization and --location options.

Specifying a default organization is useful when you mostly manage a single organization, as it makes your commands shorter. However, when you switch to a different organization, you must use hammer with the --organization option to specify it.

Procedure

To set a default organization and location, complete the following steps:

  1. To set a default organization, enter the following command: 

    # hammer defaults add --param-name organization \
--param-value "Your_Organization"

    You can find the name of your organization with the hammer organization list command.

  2. Optional: To set a default location, enter the following command: 

    # hammer defaults add --param-name location \
--param-value 'Your_Location"

    You can find the name of your location with the hammer location list command.

  3. To verify the currently specified default settings, enter the following command: 

    # hammer defaults list
