bugzilla - Man Page

Syntax: -h

show this help message and exit

Syntax: --bugzilla BUGZILLA

The bugzilla URL. Full API URLs are typically like:

* https://bugzilla.example.com/xmlrpc.cgi    # XMLRPC API
* https://bugzilla.example.com/rest/         # REST API

If a non-specific URL is passed, like 'bugzilla.redhat.com', bugzilla will try to probe whether the expected XMLRPC or REST path is available, preferring XMLRPC for backwards compatibility.

The default URL https://bugzilla.redhat.com

Syntax: --excludefield

Pass the field name to bugzilla exclude_fields list. When used with --json this can be used to request bugzilla to not return values for a field. This can be specified multiple times.

Syntax: --raw

raw output of the bugzilla contents. This format is unstable and difficult to parse. Please use the --json instead if you want maximum output from the bugzilla

Syntax: --outputformat OUTPUTFORMAT

Print output in the form given. You can use RPM-style tags that match bug fields, e.g.: '%{id}: %{summary}'.

The output of the bugzilla tool should NEVER BE PARSED unless you are using a custom --outputformat. For everything else, just don't parse it, the formats are not stable and are subject to change.

--outputformat allows printing arbitrary bug data in a user preferred format. For example, to print a returned bug ID, component, and product, separated with ::, do:

--outputformat "%{id}::%{component}::%{product}"

The fields (like 'id', 'component', etc.) are the names of the values returned by bugzilla's API. To see a list of all fields, check the API documentation in the 'See Also' section. Alternatively, run a 'bugzilla --debug query ...' and look at the key names returned in the query results. Also, in most cases, using the name of the associated command line switch should work, like --bug_status becomes %{bug_status}, etc.

Syntax: --id ID

specify individual bugs by IDs, separated with commas

Syntax: --reporter REPORTER

Email: search reporter email for given address

Syntax: --quicksearch QUICKSEARCH

Search using bugzilla's quicksearch functionality.

Syntax: --savedsearch-sharer-id SAVEDSEARCH_SHARER_ID

Owner ID of the --savedsearch. You can get this ID from the URL bugzilla generates when running the saved search from the web UI.

Syntax: --from-url WEB_QUERY_URL

Make a working query via bugzilla's 'Advanced search' web UI, grab the url from your browser (the string with query.cgi or buglist.cgi in it), and --from-url will run it via the bugzilla API. Don't forget to quote the string! This only works for Bugzilla 5 and Red Hat bugzilla
