    CloudBurn CLI

    cloudburn estimate

    Review the cloudburn estimate command and its optional dashboard URL scaffold. See the server flag, status output, and current limits of pricing estimates.

    Inspect the optional dashboard URL scaffold. This command does not contact a dashboard or calculate pricing estimates.

    Synopsis

    cloudburn estimate [--server <url>]
    

    Flags

    FlagTypeDefaultDescription
    --server <url>string—Dashboard API base URL

    Behavior

    Without --server, the command reports a NOT_CONFIGURED status and exits 0:

    +---------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    | Field   | Value                                                                        |
    +---------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    | message | No server configured. This command is optional and requires a dashboard URL. |
    | server  |                                                                              |
    | status  | NOT_CONFIGURED                                                               |
    +---------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    

    With --server, it reports a READY status with the provided URL. The command does not contact the server yet.

    Examples

    # Check estimate status (no server configured)
    cloudburn estimate
    
    # Point to a self-hosted dashboard
    cloudburn estimate --server https://dashboard.example.com
