## 项目历史与用法

Apache SkyWalking CLI, installed as swctl, is the command-line companion for Apache SkyWalking. It gives operators a shell-oriented alternative to the SkyWalking browser UI by issuing GraphQL queries against SkyWalking services.

### 项目历史

The Apache SkyWalking project announced SkyWalking CLI 0.1.0 on December 10, 2019. That first release added commands for listing services, instances, endpoints, and querying metrics, including an ASCII graph mode for linear metrics.

### 采用历史

The CLI grew as part of the wider SkyWalking observability distribution rather than as an independent general-purpose tool. Official documentation and examples use swctl in operational contexts such as health checks, debugging end-to-end tests, and checking reported Kubernetes events.

### 使用方式

swctl is commonly used by SkyWalking users and operations teams to query OAP through the same GraphQL protocol used by the UI. The official README documents installation through scripts, release binaries, source builds, and Homebrew on macOS.

### 为什么软件包爱好者会关心

For package maintainers, swctl is a small but useful example of a project-specific operations CLI: it is packaged separately from the main server stack, has a stable executable name, and lets scripted deployments inspect observability state without bundling a full UI.

### 时间线

- 2019: Apache SkyWalking CLI 0.1.0 released.
- 2020: Multiple SkyWalking CLI releases followed as the SkyWalking 8 series matured.
- 2024: SkyWalking 10 release notes mention removal of the CLI from the image, reinforcing the CLI as a separately installed tool.

### Related projects

- Apache SkyWalking OAP is the backend swctl queries.
- Apache SkyWalking UI is the browser interface that swctl complements.
- Apache SkyWalking Kubernetes and E2E documentation show swctl used in deployment and test workflows.
