Move-Item solveforce-cli.exe C:\Windows\System32\

CLI Configuration Commands

# Initialize configuration
solveforce init

# Set API key
solveforce config set api_key YOUR_API_KEY

# Configure service
solveforce service configure --name voice --codec G.711

# List configuration
solveforce config list

# Get specific setting
solveforce config get network.dns.primary

# Update setting
solveforce config update network.dns.primary 1.1.1.1

# Reset to defaults
solveforce config reset

API Configuration

Using REST API

# Get current configuration
curl -X GET \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  https://api.solveforce.com/v1/config

# Update configuration
curl -X PUT \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "network": {
      "dns": {
        "primary": "1.1.1.1"
      }
    }
  }' \
  https://api.solveforce.com/v1/config

Using SDKs

Python:

from solveforce import Client

client = Client(api_key='YOUR_API_KEY')

# Get configuration
config = client.config.get()

# Update configuration
client.config.update({
    'network': {
        'dns': {
            'primary': '1.1.1.1'
        }
    }
})

JavaScript:

const SolveForce = require('@solveforce/sdk');

const client = new SolveForce({ apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY' });

// Get configuration
const config = await client.config.get();

// Update configuration
await client.config.update({
  network: {
    dns: {
      primary: '1.1.1.1'
    }
  }
});

Configuration Best Practices

  1. Version Control: Store configuration files in Git
  2. Environment Variables: Use for sensitive data
  3. Validation: Always validate before applying
  4. Backup: Backup configuration before changes
  5. Documentation: Comment complex configurations
  6. Testing: Test in staging before production
  7. Monitoring: Monitor after configuration changes
