Using Module-Specific Console Commands

Last updated March 2020

How module-specific console commands are issued depends upon whether a module is a singleton. To determine whether a module is a singleton, refer to Modules Summary or use the module list command from the console. This command displays a full list of all loaded modules. The following is an example partial output:

...
Module: ds_core
  Scope_Name: ds_core
  Enabled: enabled
  API: Singleton
  Name: ds_core.c
  Description: generic datasource module
Module: ec_logger:ec_logger
  Scope_Name: ec_logger
  Instance_Name: ec_logger1
  Enabled: enabled
  API: Logger
  Name: ec_logger.c
  Description: Momentum minimalistic logging module
...

This output shows both a singleton (ds_core) and a non-singleton (ec_logger) module. The instance name of a non-singleton module is the name that you choose when the module is created.

Non-singleton module commands are issued using Scope_Name:Instance_Name followed by the command. For example, when you have an ec_logger module named ec_logger1, issue the help command in the following way:

ec_logger:ec_logger1 help

Singleton module commands are executed by using the module scope name followed by the command. For example, to flush a cache named sqlite, issue the ds_core flush command in the following way:

ds_core flush sqlite
