This section describes how to find the cluster where the Hosted Che workspace is running with a query to the OpenShift API on Hosted Che.

Prerequisites

  • The curl and jq packages are installed

  • Make a note of the username or email credential that the user used to log into Hosted Che

Procedure

  1. Find the cluster name using the username.

    $ curl -sgSL "https://api.openshift.io/api/users?filter[username]=<username>" | jq -r ".data[0].attributes.cluster"

  2. Find the cluster name using the email.

    $ curl -sgSL "https://api.openshift.io/api/users?filter[email]=<email>" | jq -r ".data[0].attributes.cluster"

    The output of the query is the OpenShift Online cluster URL
